"One Life, One Chance, No Regrets" 


My Life Stories

In my 25 years service I have seen pretty much everything, including rescuing  several cats stuck up a tree next to Orpington British Rail station. We had to order a specialist turntable ladder from Battersea, which caused chaos at Orpington that day. 
Drunk guy in a mobility scooter accidentally drove into the little river cray with his Chinese takeaway, we then had to implement a full water rescue procedure, even though it was only about 4” deep.
On our way to a rubbish bin that was alight in the High Street, we came across a guy high on drugs rampaging with a knife, we stopped to help the police, unfortunately he then cut his own throat in front of us. We safely held him down, whilst putting pressure on the wound! 
To our surprise he came into the station, when he was out on bail, to thank us all at the Station for saving his life!

I love My Job

Driving the fire engine is the favorite part of my job, I LOVE going on shouts on the bell, and working the fire engine through traffic it’s like working out a huge jigsaw puzzle!
I also love dealing and helping with the general public.

"Doing our very best to protect and serve … means such a lot to me"
Working with my Watch is fun and I enjoy great banter every single day, it's like working with a bunch of 13 year old brothers, this experience has influenced me in so many ways, especially how I deal with people as it is mostly female in my other work life as a Fitness Instructor. I find that guys are pretty direct – sometimes brutal! But they also don’t hold onto any “beef” it’s pretty easy to just move on, if there are any work related issues.
I can be pretty tactful in my business life, I also try to be direct and honest.
As a Fire Woman, and running my own business I have learned to develop a thicker skin, especially being in a male dominated environment, which I definitely needed as I’m a delicate flower by nature!




Award for Best Fitness Instructor in Kent 2019

My business started in Fitness, as a way to stay in shape and strong for my job, but it grew and evolved into what it is today.

I’m hugely proud of it, and always appreciate the fantastic comments and reviews that people take time out to write, it truly means everything.

My Highlight of the year was being voted Best Instructor in Kent in 2019

I was nominated by a fellow instructor that I respect and admire greatly, so an even sweeter accomplishment

My social media blew up and I spent a couple of months in tears at the wonderful things people said!

An annual highlight at Flin's Fitness is our Aerobathon fundraiser, I’m always blown away by how generous people are we have such a lot of fun with a Live DJ and all the instructors doing their set with 100 people taking part in our yearly Charity Event in Kent.

No break as I work all the time, I'm not sure how to relax, but I just love everything! I buzz off of it!  I’m now trying to do more Yoga, as a participant, I now have a kindle so making an effort to read more.

Watch Box sets on Netflix with hubs as often as we can.


Beauty with Fran
I am a mum and a Nan, so I am very aware of the ageing process, I now do a little more than I have ever have before. I maintain and keep my brow’s tidy and shaded, I’ve have a little Semi-Permanent Makeup, and I use some lash growth serum. I use a Lush lash mascara and don’t go out without lashes EVER not even when I’m on duty!

Current mascara is Primark on recommendation of Kate Lawler

Love the L’Occitaine lip balm but I always have Vaseline Aloe Vera handy in every handbag, in my car, and in my cargo trousers pocket at work! When I'm going out, I use Urban Decay on my eyes, usually a Mac Cosmetics gloss stick or Urban Decay in a nude or pinkish colour.  I use their Minerals powder as a base, then it takes me about half an hour to get ready even for an event. My hair is flat and thin, so I stick to the style it’s cut in I might use straighteners to get it more sleek.

I also in LOVE with Tropic skincare and like try to use really natural based products for my skin, I use their Skin Feast, the Night Cream & Super Greens Serum.

Not tried their make up yet, but will give it a go. My Can't Live without would be mascara, Vaseline and the Tropic Skin Feast!
