On this Zero Limits Podcast Matty Morris chats with Jason Hiscox State Emergency Service Vertical Rescue Operator.

Jason grew up in Coffs Harbour — a self-described ratbag who needed a magistrate's wake-up call to turn his life around after multiple criminal convictions.

His son Nate was born in 2012 and changed he’s prospective everything. Jason joined the NSW SES, became a Vertical Rescue and Road Crash Rescue Instructor, rose to Deputy Rescue Officer, and spent over a decade responding to some of the most confronting jobs emergency services will ever see — including leading flood boat crews through the 2017 Lismore floods, earning the National Emergency Medal.

On February 28, 2015, he drove home from a training exercise to find three ambulances in his driveway. His son Nate, two weeks from his third birthday, had drowned in the family pool. Three months later, Jason was back in training completing Swift Water Rescue.

He kept showing up. In uniform, and as a father.
