Muck Grime & Sweat: Igniting a Life in Fire is the powerful true story of a firefighter's extraordinary journey through four decades of service.
From an idyllic childhood at Shiplake Lock on the River Thames to the life-changing moment that set him on a path of duty and courage, Darran Gough's story is one of resilience, adrenaline, and unwavering commitment. Starting as a retained firefighter in Henley-on-Thames, stepping into the crucial world of 999 call control, and rising to full-time firefighting in the heart of the West Midlands, Darran offers a rare 360-degree view of the fire and rescue service few can match.
Told with gripping honesty, warmth, and humour, Muck Grime & Sweat dives into the heart-pounding realities behind the sirens - from midnight callouts and life-saving rescues to the camaraderie, challenges, and lessons learned both on and off the fireground.
Praised by senior fire officers and readers alike as "compelling," "gripping," and "uplifting," this is the first in a series by Darran that charts an extraordinary journey through four decades of service.

Darran Gough was a child of the swinging '60s, born into a lockkeeper's family. His childhood was idyllic, growing up at Shiplake Lock on the River Thames - he often boasts that he had a boat before he had a bicycle. However, a tragedy at the lock involving his father, Peter Gough, in 1982 would have a profound impact on his life and future career. Darran is in his 40th year as a Oxfordshire firefighter.
