I've been told that Asset Co. has already placed a 'tender' in for all the new engines, nothing like striking when the fire (iron) is still hot | ||

This shows my age, but STC did have a serious fire many years ago, where the firehouse now stands, there use to be garages, they burnt down one night on a blue watch duty. Early 80's I think. The joke was one of lads from Southwark had a walk around because he could smell burning; he ran back to tell the governor who did not believe him and took some convincing that there really was a fire in the garage. |
