Mzolo said that riding with his full uniform and gear is actually not as hot as the inside of a burning house.
Mzolo, who obtained a bachelor of technology degree in fire technology from the Tshwane University of Technology this year, is now the acting shift commander at the Hunters Hill Fire Station in Randburg.
He visited the Scenic Drive to talk about his incredible work as a firefighter.
