Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service - Fire Engine
Warwickshire Firefighters Families Fund

The Warwickshire Fire Fighters Family Fund has now closed. Thank you for all the kind donations received.

The Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service will publish the total amount raised at the end of March 2009.

The Warwickshire Firefighters Families Fund was established for those who wished to make a contribution directly to the families of the firefighters involved in the Atherstone-on-Stour fire of 2007.

The fund has already provided a fitting memorial at Stratford Fire Station. The Stratford Fire Station Memorial Garden, Mason Road, Stratford upon Avon was dedicated on the 2nd November 2008.

"I am deeply saddened by the recent tragic events at Atherstone-on-Stour in which four Warwickshire Firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty. I extend my deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the Firefighters.

Whilst we can never undo those tragic events, members and officers of Warwickshire County Council have, following direction from my office, opened a Fund to support the families and friends

On behalf of and in my capacity as Chairman of the Warwickshire County Council I endorse the Warwickshire Firefighters Families Fund and welcome contributions to the Fund from all individuals and organisations, both private and public."
Cllr John Wells

The purpose of this endorsement by our Chairman is to comply with the Local Government Act 1972, section 137 subsection 3, paragraph (c) which allows Parish, District councils etc to donate Parish funds into our fund
