Von der Facebook Seite FRS Hampshire At 20:14 hours on Tuesday 6 April 2010 Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service control operators were alerted to a fire at Shirley Towers, Church Street, Southampton. The fire started on an upper floor of the 15 storey block of flats. A total of 20 fire appliances and supporting vehicles were mobilised to the incident from stations across the county. All residents living in the block of flats affected by the fire were successfully rescued or evacuated by the firefighters at the scene. During fire fighting operations in an extremely challenging incident it is with deep sadness that we confirm two firefighter fatalities. As the Service is currently making contact with their families we are unable to confirm their names at this time. Two firefighters also sustained minor burns to their hands and have been taken to hospital by South Central Ambulance Service. The Major Incident Room at Service Headquarters was opened at 22:00 and is still in full operation. A joint Fire Service and Hampshire Constabulary investigation is now underway into the incident and the Health and Safety Executive has been informed. Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service Chief Fire Officer John Bonney comments, “This is an incredibly difficult and sad time for myself and everyone in Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service. The two firefighters will be sadly missed and will leave a devastating hole in the Service. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families at this tragic time and we are giving them all the support we can. This is not only a devastating loss to our Service but is a loss to the whole fire service community. During these incredibly difficult circumstances firefighters at the scene undertook the successful evacuation and rescue of a number of people. Their professionalism, under truly difficult conditions, have been admirable and a testament to our Service. | ||||
