I'm a firefighter – six poached eggs and three hot cross buns fuel my night shift
Steve Moore, 54, reveals the fuelling he needs to fight fires – and run to all of London's 103 fire stations Wake up If I'm working a day shift I normally wake up at 4.30am to feed four noisy, hungry cats first while I drink a pint of water. Hydration is key – it gets my whole body going, from my brain to my kidneys. Firefighters work on an eight-day cycle: two day shifts (9.30am to 8pm), two night shifts (8pm to 9.30am), then four days off. First coffee If I'm working a day shift I'll go for a short run first thing. Usually four to six miles. I get showered and dressed and then it's coffee time. I use a stovetop espresso maker, which brews three cups of espresso, and I top it up with hot water for a strong, large Americano. I'll sit and relax with my wife Donna if she's not at work. She's a nurse, she works shifts too, and we eat together whenever we can. First breakfast If I'm doing a day shift (9.30 am start), I'll just have a couple of bananas. If I've got a night shift starting at 8pm then my go-to fuel is two or three hot cross buns. They're in the shops now, and I love them. I'll have them dry or sometimes with peanut butter and raspberry jam. That's my fuel before a 18- or 20-mile run. I do my long runs before night shifts so I can rest after, before I start work. I'm in training for the London Marathon where I'll be running in full firefighting kit including boots, helmet and breathing apparatus. During the marathon my air supply will be supplied by the cylinders I'm carrying. This means 12 changes of breathing apparatus along the marathon route and, just to add a little bit of spice, my target time to beat is four hours and 42 minutes. Second coffee I drive to Edmonton Fire Station in north London from my home at Stoke Mandeville in Bucks, which usually takes an hour. On my way into London for my shift, I sometimes stop for a cortado, a small, strong, milky coffee. No sugar. Costa and a few other places do them now. Second breakfast The day shift starts at 9.30am, and I'll have my second breakfast at around 11.00am. We'll have that together as a 'watch' – Green Watch, Edmonton – all sat around the table, sometimes up to 14 of us. Breakfast varies depending on the day. It could be eggs – poached, scrambled, or in an omelette – a sausage sandwich, or even a Scottish bacon sandwich. I eat whatever's there. Eggs are a staple for me. Some mornings, I might have five poached eggs for my second breakfast. On the night before a day shift, if I've had a long run, I might have a seven-egg omelette. Snacks On every shift, I always take three to four bananas with me. They're easy to carry on the fire engine, and they give me a quick boost when I need it. We always have water on the fire engine, so staying hydrated isn't an issue. At the station, we eat everything – there are no picky eaters here! The only thing I don't eat is cakes and biscuits. I'm not really into sweet snacks. Late lunch During the day shift, between call-outs and station duties, we have a team meal at around 5pm. We don't have a canteen; instead, we buy our own food and cook everything from scratch with fresh ingredients using a kitty that we put money into every month. The mess manager then shops and cooks – he's the best at it – and we all then take it in turn to help him with the cooking and washing up. My favourite meals at work are handmade dirty beef burgers. The other night we had katsu curry – that was really nice too. Obviously, meals are often missed or left half eaten when we get called out. Last coffee I stop drinking coffee around three in the afternoon so as not to disrupt my sleep. I only sleep on average six-and-a-half hours, and a lot less on night shifts. Running buffet During my long runs, I use energy gels to keep my fuel levels up. In 2023 I ran to all 103 of London Fire Brigade's stations in the capital, over five days. It helped me hone my nutrition routine on the road. I now use Näak recovery powders mixed with water for hydration and nutrients. I use SiS Beta Fuel gels and TORQ gels, as they provide more grams of carbs per gel so I can take in less gels per hour. I hit the gym on my days off to maintain muscle strength. After a long run or an intense training session, I'll often have a recovery protein shake. I use an all-in-one shake containing protein, creatine (a muscle-building supplement) and carbs to get everything replenished in one go. If it's a lighter training day, I'll have a simple protein shake and maybe another banana. End of shift At the end of a day shift I head home at around 8pm, but if there's been a call-out it can be much later. If Donna is working or has eaten at work, I'll have a six- or seven-egg omelette or six poached eggs on toast in the evening. After a night shift, I'll do treadmill work in full protective gear – just walking or jogging to get used to wearing it. It's about acclimatising to the weight and restricted breathing in the mask. I don't eat anything before bed, it's just water in the car on the drive back. I don't count calories – I know you're going to do that for me! I just eat what I feel my body needs. Running, firefighting and training require a lot of fuel, and I've learnt to listen to what works best for me. I enjoy my food, but I also keep it balanced. Sure, I'll have a McDonald's now and then. In fact, last night, before my night shift started, I had a Quarter Pounder with cheese, large fries and a milkshake. I felt bloated and awful afterward, but I don't eat that stuff often. Between shift work, training, and fuelling properly, I make sure I get what I need to keep going. Eggs, coffee, bananas, protein shakes and homemade station meals fuel my days – along with the occasional hot cross bun when marathon training kicks in. It's all about balance, enjoyment, and making sure I'm ready for whatever the day – or a fire call – throws at me.

Forts Bragg and Benning revert to old names with new honorees, sparking controversy
Fayetteville, North Carolina — For the second time in less than two years, the largest U.S. military base has a new name — but the new name is also its old name. For more than a century, North Carolina's Fort Bragg honored Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg. In 2023, it was changed to Fort Liberty by a congressionally mandated commission to rename nine bases that honored Confederate generals. After President Trump took office, the Pentagon changed the name back to Fort Bragg last month, but honoring a different Bragg than the original. The base now honors Army Pfc. Ronald L. Bragg, who was awarded a Silver Star for actions during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, according to a memo signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Rebecca Amirpour and Jennifer Bell, Roland Bragg's granddaughters, are plenty proud of their grandpa. Though Amirpour initially thought the name change "was a joke," she feels like "using our grandfather's name is a way of bringing it back in a respectful way." Lt. Gen. Gregory Anderson, commanding general of Fort Bragg, says his message to those who find the Bragg name and what it represents to be painful is that "Roland L. Bragg is someone they can be proud of." But Fort Bragg wasn't the only name recently restored. Steve Moore's family is on the other end of the Army's renaming decisions. Two years ago, Fort Benning in Georgia was renamed to honor his parents — Lt. Gen. Harold Moore, a highly decorated 32-year infantry commander, and his wife Julia — by the Naming Commission. Moore says he was especially touched by the renaming because his mother was also honored, saying the Army was finally recognizing "the value of the military spouse." Under Hegseth's leadership, Fort Moore is now reverting back to Fort Benning — not after the Confederate general it originally honored, but Cpl. Fred Benning — who served with honor for a couple of years during World War I "When I compare his short service in World War I, to mom and dad's lifetime of service, and everything they did and influenced, I have to ask the question — why?" Steve Moore said, calling the reversal "an absolute loophole." There's no answer that will satisfy the family of Hal and Julia Moore, whose lifetime of valor and service to the Army was lost out to a soldier who had one thing they did not: the right last name.
