London Fire Brigade firefighter Angus Campbell has been presented with an award by London Fire Commissioner Sir Ken Knight following his actions at the attempted bombings in London on 21 July 2005.
Angus was awarded a Commissioner’s Certificate of Commendation – the Brigade’s highest award – for his actions at the incident in which he led passengers to safety before challenging would-be suicide bomber Ramzi Mohammed.
Commissioner Sir Ken Knight said: “Angus displayed exceptional bravery and dedication at a potentially catastrophic incident. He quickly identified the seriousness of the situation and with no thought for his own safety made every effort to help other passengers whilst trying to calm down the apparent bomber. Angus is a credit to London Fire Brigade.”
