The Service

One year later, our thoughts and prayers are with their families at the anniversary of the tragic incident and we continue to give them all the support we can. This was a devastating loss to our Service and a loss to the whole fire service community.

The loss of any member of the emergency services is like losing your best friend - it is a unique family, particularly within the Fire and Rescue Service.
