In Hertfordshire today two firemen died trying to rescue someone from a high rise block of flats in Stevenage. I'd just like to pay a tribute here. God bless their families and colleagues and help them in this difficult time. RIP. Joanne.

How sad, they and their families are in my thoughts. Bev

I am sorry to hear this. Having many friends who are Firefighters, I know how hard this sort of tragedy hits their work and family communities. My thought go out to their families and colleagues. Jacky x

A sad loss of brave men. What a shock for their famlies. My sympathy to them all. CB >|<

It's so tragic when this happens. We have a permanent memorial to a young woman firefighter who lost her life when our local Co-Op burned down. The whole community mourned her. Stevenage will no doubt do the same. My heart goes out to their friends and family. Magsxx

Firefighters are selfless people. When it comes to the crunch they don't hesitate. Remember how many died in the 9/11 tragedy....hundreds. God Bless and help their nearest and dearest.

The fire station in Stevenage is just round the corner to the flats....they must have been there in less than a couple of minutes. Such an aweful waste of life....may god bless them and their families at this tragic time. V.

One of the young guys had only been doing the fire fighting job for three months. Jo.

That is so sad God give their families all the strength they will need. Debs.

MY sympathy and prayers goes out to the families of the two firemen who so tragically died in todays fire in Stevenage May the support that they will receive from the Fire Service during the coming weeks help them in their tragic loss. My prayers are also for the other members of the crew who attended the fire,who will also feel this tragic loss My husband was in the Fire Service for 28years and was part of a very special band of brothers who considered it their duty to protect life and property RIP Bren
