Arnold Mckinley

Find out about Arnold Mckinley

Arnold is a computer whizz and the team’s tech guy. He loves technology and only has to look at a new piece of equipment to know what components it has and how he could improve it.  Arnold is determined to get all the best tech-gear for the Pontypandy Fire Service and is sure that if there’s anything they can’t get hold of, he will be able to make it himself. Whether is turning Venus into Venus 2 or setting up an app to view the team’s bodycams, Arnold is your man!

 

Arnold is thoughtful and quietly spoken and therefore a calm influence on the team but don’t be fooled by his placid demeanour, Arnold’s brain is working faster than Jupiter can accelerate around a corner and his quick thinking in an emergency has helped the team on many occasions.

 

Arnold can sometimes seem over-analytical and uses lots of words that Elvis can’t understand, particularly when he’s discussing Wallaby Two’s comprehensive avionic suite, multi-band homing system and hi-capacity water vessel. But he often utilizes his techie skills to help people. He has assisted Joe in his creation of the Fire Dog 2000 (which chased Dilys up a lamp post and then terrorised Norman) he created the online platform for Mandy and Sarah’s Pontypandy Planet and along with Elvis he turned Venus into Venus 2.
