Science isn’t a word we’d expect to hear when talking about fire or emergency services.  

But major spills and leaks, hazardous material fires, poisonings and explosives are all emergencies that involve chemicals – and we know there is a lot of science behind that.  

Jeff Davis is DFES’ only scientist and it’s his job to give advice on how to safely handle potentially dangerous chemicals before, during and after an emergency.  

That advice could be given in person, over the phone, even while he’s overseas on a family holiday.  

In the world of emergency services – Jeff’s role is critical and could be the difference between a good and bad day.
