Kerry McCarthy Labour MP for Bristol East
Today, Fleur Lombard, a firefighter who died in the line of duty, will have a train named after her as part of GWR’s Great Westerners campaign. I nominated Fleur to be named on the train as public service often goes unrecognised and I think it is important that her bravery and sacrifice are never forgotten. I hope this also serves as an opportunity to reflect upon the commitment, dedication and courage of all our firefighters, who continue to risk their own lives to protect our communities, as we saw most recently in response to the large fire in Speedwell.
