Today, we said goodbye to retired ACFO Dominic Brown, who passed away on Thurs 24th June. Dominic was given a full fire service funeral & was described as an outstanding officer whose commitment, bravery & humour touched everyone he met. Our thoughts remain with family & friends.
Dominic’s funeral will be held on Mon 5th July at 10:30am at Wear Valley Crematorium. @CDDFRS are holding a full Fire Service Funeral. Everyone wanting to pay their respects can attend outside the Crem & watch via live link. Please arrive early to allow for setting up.♥️
Today the world has lost a legend, a real hero from the fire service and a truly remarkable person. My heart is truly shattered. You brought light to so many people’s life and you were loved more than you could imagine. Sleep well Mr. B. Forever your Mrs. B 💔
I had my Gorgeous Grand Daughter Ivy Raine pop into the fire station today to see her Grandad, Unfortunately the visit was cut short as we were called out
Today, we paid our respects to His Royal Highness, #PrincePhilip#TheDukeofEdinburgh with a short ceremony at our Headquarters followed by a minute's silence to honour his memory.
Our thoughts are with Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family at this time.
