On the first anniversary of the tragic fire in Bicester where three people, including London Firefighter Martyn Sadler, sadly died London Fire Commissioner, Jonathan Smith, said: “Today marks one year since the devastating fire in Bicester, where two firefighters and a member of the public lost their lives.
“Leading Firefighter/Sub Officer Martyn Sadler from the Brigade and Firefighter Jennie Logan from Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service died in the line of duty while responding to the fire, alongside member of the public David Chester.
“Firefighters risk their lives every day to protect and save others, and today we reflect on Martyn’s years of dedicated service at the Brigade, where he was a valued, respected and much-loved colleague and friend.
“My thoughts and those of everyone at the Brigade remain with Martyn’s family, friends and colleagues as we mark the first anniversary of this tragic fire.”
