BRIAN MAY:
“Hi Folks.
I’m Brian May. On behalf of The Firefighters’ Charity this is the Spirit of Fire Award for The Fire and Rescue Of The Year.
Now, I had occasion to meet some of the firefighters in a very particular situation where my own life and property was threatened and it was a very inspiring meeting up on the golf course – Sunnydale – and if the wind had been different and the situation had been just a little differen,t my whole life would have gone up in flames. So I owe a huge amount to the wonderful firefighters who worked night and day in much longer shifts than they should have been called on to work to keep all our lives and properties safe and also to save a lot of wild animals. So it gives me particular pleasure to present this award.
The nominees for the Spirit of Fire Award for The Fire and Rescue Service of the Year are:
– The London Fire Brigade.
– The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
– The Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.
– The Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service.
And the winners of the Spirit of Fire award for The Fire and Rescue Service Of fThe Year are The Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.
It gives me great pleasure to offer my congratulations to you guys you do a wonderful job and not many people realise what an incredible commitment your life is. So I will be continuing to campaign for a little bit more recognition and a little bit more help in so many ways from the community for the work that you do. Congratulations.
Congratulations Lancashire lads- we love you. Lancaster lads and lasses I should say. God bless you! Congratulations Lancashire.”
