Archive for This forum is for serving or retired firefighters from the LFB. This is the place to have a moan, have a laugh and maybe even get some proper answers to some time honoured and new questions
I know that all FBU members will join me in expressing our sadness at the deaths of our four members in the incident at Atherstone-on-Stour, near Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.
The deceased are named as:
Ian Reid (aged 44) Stratford upon Avon Fire Station
John Averis (aged 27) Stratford upon Avon Fire Station
Ashley Stephens (aged 21) Alcester Fire Station
Darren Yates-Badley (aged 24) Alcester Fire Station
I know the thoughts of all of us are with the families who have suffered such a tragic loss. I further ask that you think of the others who attended this incident and will also be suffering in many ways as a result.
People wishing to send floral tributes can do so to the following addresses;
Alcester Fire Station, Seggs Lane, Warwickshire, B49 5HU
Stratford upon Avon Fire Station, Masons Road, Warwickshire, CV37 9NA

A very sad loss.
