Our thoughts go out to all those at Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service (Official).
We are deeply saddened to confirm the names of the two colleagues who lost their lives dealing with a major incident in Bicester on the evening of Thursday, 15 May.
A member of the public also sadly died in the incident.
Two further firefighters sustained serious injuries and are currently in hospital.
The firefighters who died are Jennie Logan of Oxfordshire County Councilโs Fire and Rescue Service and Martyn Sadler of Oxfordshire County Councilโs Fire and Rescue who also worked as a firefighter for London Fire Brigade.
Following todayโs tragic events, we recognise that people may wish to pay their respects.
We would be grateful if anyone wishes to lay flowers that these are laid in Garth Park, Bicester rather than at fire stations or at Bicester Motion to avoid obstruction to the highways. The park is open 7.30am - 9pm.
From Monday, people can also sign a book of condolence at Garth House in the park (Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm, Friday 9am to 4pm).
