As the country burned through a black summer, one man stood out — NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons.

For the first time Mr Fitzsimmons reveals the man behind his calm façade and how he overcame a childhood marred by domestic violence to become one of Australia’s most admired leaders.
