While talking about his success to secure a job as a NSW Fire-Fighter, Gagan mentioned that he owes it to his family as they help him to be emotionally and mentally as sound as possible.
"My wife has been very supportive as she understands that being a firefighter could be tough when it comes to take priorities over being a husband and father."
"As firefighters, we embrace, cope and handle things to the best of our abilities." Mr Bindra replied while talking about the tough choices he has to make on day to day basis.
