Wow... what incredible, brave and genuine people these are, people talk of heroes, footballers and the like.

These people are heroes, yes I know they are paid to do a job but I would be seriously considering not going into that tower block.

Very interesting programme, moving and interesting

Great stuff.

Coincidently today an old mate from school celebrates 30 years in the London Fire Brigade.

Incredible stuff they do.

I particularly liked the part when the commander said, when talking about the firefighters who fought the Grenfell Fire that every single one of them was prepared to die while doing their job.
Sobering stuff.

Bit of a nice advert for Cedric!

Nice to see a programme on the LFB. The body cams have an interesting insight into what they can (or usually can't) see.

Dad was a station officer for London before he died - it's still camaraderie based which is nice!

I tuned in to see the part on the tram crash as my cousin was one of the 7... was impressed how they dealt with the initial incident.
