One of my crew mentioned to me the other day that there must have been a death in the service as his pay slip showed the deduction of a pound. How totally inadequate does that gesture seem this morning with the tragic news from Warwickshire.

My heartfelt sympathies to all concerned with this awful incident.

Dreadful tragedy, my heart goes out to the families and crews.

This warehouse is occupied by a company with a history of fire incidents.

As the secretary of the Fire Services National Benevolent Fund for the West Midlands area that includes Warwickshire, I was shocked and stunned last night when a collegue from Warwickshire rang with the news. We have already started to help our friends deal with the situation and will continue to support our lost friends families for many years

My thoughts and prayers go out to them and to some extent have an idea how they may feel having lost two collegues in Hereford some years ago.

Let us all help those that are suffering at this time and in the future. For those who may wish to leave thier messages of condolance I have no doubt that the F.S.N.B.F. will open a condolance page on thier web site very soon, check out www.fsnbf.org.uk

Words cannot express the depth of sympathy that goes out to all involved in this tragic event.
Its another reminder to all of us  who are or have been in "the job"  that but for the grace of God we could all be at the centre of similar events.  Let us remember in our prayers and thoughts those who by fate were presented by this situation, who were forced by circumstance to make decisions and have to live with the dreadful outcome. My heart goes out to you all.

Not the most appropriate time for that comment.

An awful loss. not just for the Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service but for the Fire and Rescue Service as a whole.

My deepest sympathies and thoughts go to those involved and their families at this time.

As a retained Firefighter in the North East of Scotland myself and fellow crew would like to wish the families and fellow collegues of our "Brothers" who gave their lives to doing something they loved our heartfelt sympathies and thoughts .

Redone - if you spent many happy years working at Stratford and with the crews from Alcester you should have known that the area is in Warwickshire? H&W it is not.

My heart goes out to the families and firends of those lost and to their colleagues. I have some good friends in Warks FRS and they are in my thoughts.
My posts reflect my personal views and beliefs and not those of my employer. If I offend anyone it is usually unintentional, please be kind. If it is intentional I guess it will be clear!

The Fire Services National Benevolent Fund is collating condolences messages and will present these to the affected families and colleagues when appropriate. To leave your condolence message, email condolences@fsnbf.org.uk or go to http://www.fsnbf.org.uk/text.asp?PageId=256


Let us not argue or bicker but remember those that died, if I have upset anyone its because I too am upset and I apologise.
