An Erith man has hauled his way to the top sport at a competition to find south east England's strongest man.
The 26-year-old is a former professional boxer and joined the Brigade as a trainee firefighter in November 2018.
At 6ft 8 and weighing 22 stone, Scott is known as Two Bob as he’s twice the weight of his ‘Gov, Watch Manager Bob Dunk.
Scott says there some parts of being a firefighter which come more easily to him, but it works both ways and if a member of the public has lost their door keys it'll be one of his colleagues who crawls in through a little window to get in or out.
He added: “I really love the variety. You never know what you’re going to do when the bell goes. I like the feeling of being part of a close team of colleagues on the watch.
“I hope to finish my development and become a competent firefighter while doing more Strongman events in my spare time.”
