Two London Firefighters have died in Bethnal Green, the LFB have an excellent safety record with the last death in their service being in 1993. Although we often jokingly moan at the Fire Service we are also aware that they choose to run into burning buildings, and it takes a certain kind of person to do that.

I would imagine that every LAS in East London is wondering if they had worked with those two men, on a fire call, or an RTA extrication.

My thoughts go out to those affected, their family, friends and workmates.

The Big White Taxi Service website (the very unofficial LAS website) is having a collection for them.
