“Many people in communities all over Warwickshire are deeply shocked and distressed by these tragic events. Putting a message in a condolence book is a small gesture but can help people express their grief. The records and the thoughts from people will serve as a poignant and lasting tribute to the men and will be a source of comfort to the families.”
County fire officer William Brown
