  • Kevin Cook It's not just fake, Had a new 2 week old charger plug that came with the new phone that was getting way too hot, sent photos and e mail and explained that I was retired fire service and this would be taken further should it catch light they would be held responsible if nothing was done, new one came in post 3 days later.

Last weekend our Fire Cadets and volunteers were down at the Tunnel 2 Towers run.
Twenty cadets and volunteers took part in the 5km race, which saw them run from Southwark Park Bermondsey through the empty Rotherhithe Tunnel, along the docks to the Billingsgate Market finish line.
Other cadets joined standard bearers to form a guard of honour at the finish line and helped man the water station with volunteers.
