One of the world's most senior female firefighters shares stories from her extraordinary life to explore how we respond in life-or-death situations.
Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton has been a firefighter since she was
eighteen years old. She is now a Chief Fire Officer and one of the
most senior female firefighters in the UK.
After leaving home at fifteen and school at sixteen, she joined the
fire service in Wales. While climbing the ranks, she studied at the
Open University and then at Cardiff University, eventually
completing a PhD in Psychology. Her subsequent research into
incident command in the emergency services has not only won awards
but has also influenced policy at a global level. Sabrina was
recently conferred as an Honorary Fellow at Cardiff University.
She lives with her husband and daughter in London.
An inspirational memoir from an extraordinary woman. The Heat of
the Moment does for the fire service what Adam Kay’s This Is Going
to Hurt did for the NHS. A humbling, jaw-dropping read which
redefines what is possible in life
