Tenbury firefighter, Graham James, receives outstanding service award

7:00am Monday 16th November 2009 in Tenbury Wells

FIREFIGHTER Graham James, pictured left, has received an outstanding service award for completing 35 years in the service.

He has actually notched up 37 continuous years’ service which makes him the longest serving firefighter in the Tenbury Fire Service.

Graham has lots of memories from his long career, including the very hot summer of 1976 when the fire service had a record number of callouts, the bad winter of 1982 when people had to be rescued from snow drifts and, of course, the floods of 2007.
