The photographs highlight some of the complex and challenging operating environments in which (often voluntary) staff risk their lives to save those of others.

Acclaimed Guardian Australia photographer Mike Bowers is hosting a one-day Masterclass on Friday 13th November (for the non-superstitious). The programme is structured to suit the needs of almost all photography enthusiasts, with a blend of theory (history of photojournalism, camera operation, techniques) and hands-on tutorial-based learning. If you're familiar with Mike's parliamentary press gallery images, his sense of humour will likely ensure it's an enjoyable and entertaining day. For full details and registration, see here.
