I’m sharing the very sad news that Beccy passed away peacefully this morning. She spent her last few days at @SJHospice who provided the most dignified & compassionate care to Beccy & her whole family. Donations to the hospice can be made in Beccy’s memory. ❤️

[Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service @LancashireFRS]

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our colleague and friend, Firefighter Beccy Barr.
Beccy was a dedicated and courageous firefighter who served with professionalism and compassion. She was an enthusiastic and warm person who became an inspiration to many.
