Vero dedicated three months to training for this achievement, surpassing the previous record set by Keith Malcolm in the UK in 2009. Vero ran three times the length of Malcolm’s run, completing a distance of 893 feet.

The most recent record was set at 670 feet, but Vero ran over 200 feet farther with a time 7.58 seconds faster.

With a lifelong passion for fire, Vero has always been drawn to work with flames. He is not only a firefighter but also a stuntman, performing acts such as fire juggling and fire eating. Vero enjoys pushing his limits and has no plans to stop. He states, “I’ve still got a lot to try and a lot of records to go for.”
