FIREMAN ON GIVING SOMETHING BACK

A LIFEBOAT volunteer joined the charity that saved his life.

Firefighter Benny Thomson, 43, from Dundee, has been a volunteer at Broughty Ferry lifeboat station since 2013.

As the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) marks its 200th anniversary today, he shared the story of his rescue on November 25, 2012- that inspired him to sign up.

He had decided to go to St Andrews but a jet ski ridden by Benny and his pal Gavin Smith broke down.
