Fire Brigade Society AGM 2017

The AGM of the Society was held recently at the Headquarters of the County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service. The meeting was chaired by the President of the association, Liveryman Jon Hall.

The picture shows Jon being greeted at the Headquarters building by the Society’s Chairman of Committees, Ralph Horton. Jon had just been transported to the meeting from Durham railway station in a restored 1982 Dennis RS133 Pump Escape.

It was the appliance Jon rode when he joined the fire service in 1983 and was assigned to Preston Circus fire station in Brighton. Jon was a crew member when this appliance was the first on scene at the Brighton bombing incident in 1984.
