CFO’s Foreword Foreword from the Chief Fire Offjcer
The Chairman and I take great pleasure in welcoming our honoured guests, award recipients and their families to this very special Awards Ceremony. We are here to recognise the outstanding achievements and long service of fjrefjghters, control operators and support staff. Over recent years the Service has experienced signifjcant emergencies, the M5 crash and large scale fmooding events captured both the public and media interest. Whilst these incidents are not unique, they are, for some personnel, exceptional and challenging operational situations which many fjrefjghters may not experience during their entire careers. For this reason, and for the fjrst time in our Service’s history, we have minted our own medal for fjrefjghters who have displayed exceptional acts of bravery. We hope you all enjoy the ceremony and join us in congratulating all of the recipients on their remarkable achievements. CFO Lee Howell and Chairman Cllr Mark Healey

Raising funds for charity - Hope for Children The 29th Marathon Des Sables
GM Paul Cross SM Danny Slay WM Matt Mason In April I was fortunate enough to travel to Morocco to attempt the 29th Marathon des Sables as part of Team Hope, which saw six fjrefjghters compete in the toughest foot race
Children. Team Hope, captained by Danny Slay and joined by myself and Paul Cross from DSFRS also with Andy Miller, Pete Drummond and Ryan Weir from West Midlands FRS, set
through the Hope for Children charity. Simply known as the ‘MDS’, the event is a gruelling multi

Acting to Protect & Save
stage race through one of the world’s most inhospitable climates, the Sahara desert, covering 156 miles in six days with temperatures regularly exceeding 50 degrees centigrade. Which, by the way, is the equivalent of running from London to Dover, deciding not to go to France after all, and running back again in 120 degree heat with a back pack on and voices in your head talking constantly about an ice cold beer! Although the organisers kindly set up a bivvy under which you could sleep each night on the rocky desert fmoor, the rules of the MDS require you to be self suffjcient carrying all you need to survive on your back. In addition you are expected to self navigate around ruined towns, up desert mountains, across miles of salt-pans, through endless dunes and the occasional sand storm for the entire six days. This was without doubt the hardest event any of us have ever undertaken, testing us all with numerous blisters, infected feet, extreme dehydration, not to mention the odd exhaustion-induced hallucination!

Throughout this, the camaraderie and support in our amazing team shone through and our desire to reach our goal not only saw all of us complete the hardest foot race on earth but exceed our original fund raising target. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported us throughout our adventure and with your amazing generosity we raised £54,000 which will improve the lives of many disadvantaged children.

Flooding incidents - Somerset Levels
This letter of commendation is awarded to personnel to recognise the signifjcant contribution they have made to the work surrounding the fmooding on the Somerset levels. The unprecedented rainfall levels experienced this winter led to the creation of a 25 square mile fmood plain on the Somerset Levels, which affected a signifjcant number of communities. A major incident was declared and the Service worked with other agencies over a period of several weeks to keep people safe who lived within the villages affected. Crews gave humanitarian support to residents that had become isolated through a boat service and other specialist

Flooding incident - Dawlish
The rail track hanging in mid-air at Dawlish was one of the most dramatic images of the severe winter storms. Fire crews were the fjrst to see the gap appearing under the rail line during the February storms and helped the police to evacuate the homes at risk that night. As part of the subsequent massive repair operation, the Service was asked to help remove a sheared cliff face from above the rail line between Dawlish and Teignmouth to protect the rail workers repairing the track below. Fire crews worked day and night for two weeks in March using high volume pumps to wash 20,000 tonnes of soil and rock down the cliff face. Their work was vital to allow the line to open on time in April and put such an important part of the south west’s transport infrastructure back in place. It was the fjrst time the Service’s high volume pumps have been used in this way, and the complex operation involved the pumps being loaded onto rolling stock and taken along the railway line.
