Anthony Seward was 21 years old when his left hand got caught in an unprotected factory machine, and forced him to give up his dream job forever - or, so he thought.
He had only been working at Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service (DSFRS) for a year when he was 'degloved' by an industrial mangle at his side job in 2017.
Now, six years later, Anthony is back doing what he loves most as an on-call firefighter, after multiple surgeries on the NHS saved the grip strength in his injured hand.
