Goodwood firefighter nominated as a 'hero' for leading crew and tackling blazes with one arm

Goodwood Rural Fire Brigade (RFB) first officer Richard Greatorex does not consider missing his left arm to be a disadvantage.

Since establishing the team of Bundaberg region volunteers nearly 30 years ago, he has led them through some of the worst fires in Queensland's history, including the 2019 Woodgate blaze.

"I don't look at it as a disability, it's a physical challenge," Mr Greatorex said.
