We are getting some real traction now.  Our petition  has been picked up by the All Party Parliamentary Fire Safety & Rescue Group and is being brought to the attention of MP's and the Fire Brigades Union.  I attach a photo of my brother from the front page of the Daily Telegraph - he is the one in braces.  Thanks to all firefighters for your service - it is appreciated.  My brother says even now that he would do it all again in a heartbeat
