“I cannot put into words how much he will be missed by us all; he wasn’t just a colleague for 22 years; he was also a great friend.”
Chief fire officer Chris Strickland: “Danny had carried out this role for over 20 years which is remarkable.
“Our thoughts remain with Danny’s family at this incredibly difficult time. We will continue to do all we can to support them as well as his colleagues at Cottenham Fire Station.”
