The wedding of London Firefighter, Ray West.

On Thursday 4th June, amidst persistant rain and heavy cloud cover, the group were delighted to be able to participate at the wedding of London Firefighter Ray West to the lovely Michelle by transporting the bride and her children to the wedding venue at Braintree Town Hall. Essex.
Following the wedding ceremony and the traditional bride and groom walk out, met with an with appropriate Guard of Honour with raised axes, Ray and Michelle were both transported safely for a lovely photo session at the public gardens in Braintree and then finally on to the White Hart Pub for the reception.

By sheer coincidence, just as the photo session was coming to a close, a serious fire broke out adjacent to the reception venue at the White Hart which required the attendance of 3 appliances from Essex Fire & Rescue. We are pleased to report that the Brigade did not require our services although we could have assisted if required, or perhaps not at our ages!

Despite the appliance being thoroughly cleaned and polished at the start of the day, the poor weather necessitated an urgent pit stop at Braintree Fire Station to give 240FLM another clean before embarking the bride and her family.
However, all went smoothly and the day was a wonderful celebration.

​We wish Michelle and Ray a lifetime of happiness and prosperity.
