The funeral of the late Fireman Paul Dolan, LFB rtd.

240FLM was proud to have been asked to attend the funeral of former Peckham firefighter, Paul Dolan, in Beckenham on Friday 6th February 2026. Paul had joined the Brigade in 1983 and on completion of his training, was posted to and remained at B28 Peckham Fire Station.
Paul served at Peckham before leaving for pastures new in the haulage industry, however, the phrase "Once a fireman- always a Fireman” definitely applied to Paul who was supremely proud of his service.

The cortege met at Beckenham Rugby Club where it seemed every player past and present were waiting to see him leave his beloved club and go on his final shout to Beckenham Crematorium.
