Firefighters from Deddington have received an award naming their station the On-call Fire Station of the Year.
Five of them – Adrian Spilsbury, Corrin King, Chris Fenemore, Ben Fenemore and Celia Harber – attended a prestigious awards ceremony at Blenheim Palace last Thursday (April 3).
At the event thirteen of Oxfordshire’s firefighters were presented with His Majesty The King’s long service and good conduct medals. Another four firefighters received commemorative clasps and certificates.
Rob MacDougall, Oxfordshire County Council’s Fire and Rescue Service’s Chief Fire Officer and Director of Community Safety, said: “I am proud of the dedication and commitment of our Oxfordshire firefighters. Their 260 years of combined service is a testament to their bravery, skill and devotion.
“Their selflessness, courage and efforts to protect lives and strengthen community bonds in Oxfordshire inspire us all and they will continue to influence future generations of firefighters. Thank you for your service and for being the foundation of our community safety.”
