Supporting the LFB retired members association.

240FLM was in attendance at the former, D27 and now G38 Heston Fire station in far West London in support of the LFB Retired Members Association (D & G Divs) for their recent "swinging the lamp" meeting.
These regular meetings take place at various stations or venues throughout the former G and D Division boundaries and provide an avenue for retired or former members of the Brigade to get together and reminice.
​When the opportunity arises to meet on a station, the current staff are usually fascinated by our tales of daring do and former service which is for the most part significantly different from todays profession. Progress and learning has transformed the role of firefighters from our days so its always  fascinating to get reactions, both ways!.

On display alongside 240FLM, was the beautifully restored and preserved Dennis F106 Pump Escape, formally based at Stratford and now owned by Adam Stevens. The on duty staff took the opportunity to go " Hands on" with much of the equipment and their efforts were to be applauded given the zero amount of training they have had on museum based equipment.

A wonderful day of old friends meeting and new friends being made.
