18.01.2022 Local Fire and Rescue NSW Station 087 Rosemeadow Fire Fighter received the highest fire service honor for her years of research into protecting fire fighters. Michelle was awarded the Australian Fire Service Medal which is the highest level of recognition bestowed on fire fighters. Her selfless work has led to the better protection of every fire fighter in NSW and Australia... Since 2016, Senior Firefighter Engelsman has undertaken ground-breaking research into firefighter’s exposure to carcinogens and other contaminants. Her research program has attracted external funding to support the comprehensive analysis of firefighters, fire stations, fire trucks, personal protective clothing and our policies and procedures. Senior Firefighter Engelsman’s PhD program of studies, sponsored by FRNSW, has been the catalyst for agency-wide risk mitigation activity. She has also presented at national conferences and events, won an award at the 2018 Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Council (AFAC) Conference, and authored/co-authored numerous academic articles about the health risks to firefighters from their cumulative exposure to toxic smoke and chemicals. Senior Firefighter Engelsman’s commitment to reducing the risks of her co-workers has led to enhanced protocols being included in FRNSW’s firefighter recruitment and other training/awareness courses. Her research and findings are also informing FRNSW’s decisions on fire station design, safety and hygiene protocols, equipment procurement and management, and laundering practices. Ground-breaking bio-sampling of firefighters and follow up pathology analysis has also led to Senior Firefighter Engelsman’s participation in the development of a new standard for firefighting ensembles, both structural and wildfire.
