@Missile694 @kingtimbo1 I never served at Soho, was based at busy inner London Stations with their own decent share of work. However, in among the AFA’s I’ve attended some of the most challenging fires, terrorist and other jobs I’d seen in my 31 year career on Soho’s ground. A truly unique risk area.
Records I’d kept from make-up fires I attended as first OIC as a Sub Officer, kept them as evidence for my WM development in the late 90’s. It’s amazing how much you forget, of the 7 jobs for “Sub O Dudeney”, only one made the book (p.147). Amazing how busy we were back then!!
Thirty years ago, we’d get called from Poplar fire station across the river to fires in derelict buildings or scrapyards on the Greenwich Peninsula. I was there today, unrecognisable!! #londonfirefighterbook London Firefighter [amazon]
For those who have read London Firefighter, the strangest part of the book is by Firefighting adventure in Gran Canaria when I was on honeymoon in 1992. Revisited here. stevedude68.com/2024/01/27/fir…

It’s 36 years today since the tragic Kings Cross fire and my first day duty as a Firefighter newly graduated from training. Read about this fire in #Londonfirefighterbook London Firefighter amzn.eu/d/j8ubqKH #London #Fire #Firefighter #BlackFriday
Post accident recovery continues well. Pretty much back to where I was in July before I was knocked off of my Motorbike and broke my pelvis!! 🤜🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I’ve had two of these ‘Rescue-Chock’ door wedges for use in high rise firefighting and other applications sent to me my a friend who is a retired @FDNY Rescue 1 Firefighter. Happy to support this innovative company and their efforts to make Firefighting safer and more effective.

Five years today since I retired from @LondonFire Can’t believe how quickly that’s gone. I had the best of times, but have made the most of the opportunities since and enjoy a different way of life now.

Agree Steve, the Commissioner says it’s the most complex built risk environment in Europe. You only have to look at the Freedom of Information request 8167 on the LFB website to see that on Soho’s ground alone we attend a fire every 16 days where it was initially a commercial AFA

@londonfirebook Old FDR1. Brings back memories …
I don’t want to dwell too much on tactics and techniques, as I don’t like commenting too much on other nations ways of doing things and getting into who does what better or worse. What I do want to talk about however is the severe lack of regard for safety when in the ‘line of…
@londonfirebook I must admit Steve, that part made me laugh. You slipping on a BA set, while your wife sups a drinking thinking “I wonder what adventure he is having right now” 😂
I have known Wayne for over 20 years from when he was posted to me at Poplar as a T/Sub O, and we remained colleagues, as senior officers attending several major incidents together. A truly devastating loss to all of us who knew him. This photo is from 8 years and 2 days ago. 😞

Never forgotten. RIP Station Officer Colin Townsley.
On the 36th anniversary of the #KingsCross fire, our thoughts are with those who lost their lives & their loved ones. In particular, we remember Station Officer Colin Townsley, who gave his life in the line of duty trying to help passengers orlo.uk/tssfs
Remembering SO Colin Townsley of @LFBWestminster Soho fire station who died with 30 others in a fire at Kings Cross station 36 years ago today
@londonfirebook Thank you for your part in trying to save lives at this awful tragedy. My father died in the fire and I will never forget this day 💔
@londonfirebook Excellent turn out this morning to remember Colin and the othe victims of the fire
It seems to come around all too quickly, but Saturday is the 36th anniversary of the King's Cross fire in which 31 people died including Red Watch Soho's Station Officer, Colin Townsley. It remains the worst fire on the London Underground.
This weekend our staff will be working alongside our emergency services and other partners to keep Londoners safe at a number of events across London, including the Lord Mayor's Show tomorrow and Remembrance Sunday.
Planning and preparation often goes unseen. @LondonFire is working very closely with partners to support the events planned for this very important weekend. Thank you to our firefighters, officers, control and FRS teams helping this effort.

I don't understand how someone can mourn the loss of innocent Palestinian lives while shrugging their shoulders at the loss of innocent Israeli lives. But neither do I understand how someone can do the same in reverse. An innocent life is an innocent life. Isn't it?
