Tom

Fire can be a friend or a deadly enemy and when it chooses it has the power to harm and kill, the weak and the strong, the brave and the fearful, the fearless and the cautious, the young or the old, it does not discriminate.

Four brave souls gave their lives in the service of the public and if they had to die it was the noblest of all sacrifices, we salute them. May they rest in peace and may their friends and loved ones who are left behind find the strength to come to terms with their loss and may we never forget them. R.I.P.

The loss of so many of our fellow brothers-in-arms is inconceivable, my thoughts and prayers are with their family, friends and colleagues. It is at times like this that you are reminded that the job we do with such passion and dedication can demand the ultimate sacrifice. It also reminds us of the fear that our partners must bear every time we run out the door, the pager still screaming as we shout "see you later love". This tragedy has made me realise it is not us, the firefighters, who are the brave ones, it is our partners that we leave behind.
