There are three tall blocks in the same road, we lived in the shorter of the three for a while, idiots used to set fire to the waste shoots and that was scary enough with fireman all over the building. I really feel for the families of the two brave men lost to the service.

That awful isnt it, so sad, my thoughts go to the families and friends of these two brave men Jo xx

Today while out shopping, I saw around a dozen Firemen standing paying their respects to Fleur Lombard at the permanent memorial to her, erected opposite the new Co-op store. It must be the anniversary of her death and about 10 years since she was killed fighting that fire. I was truly touched to see them mark the occasion and remember her. There can't have been many amongst them that were there at the time - so to the Avon and Somerset Fire Brigade - my respects and admiration for taking time out to remember a lost colleague. Magsxx N.B.. - may not be Avon and Somerset Brigade now - but sentiments the same

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

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

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

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.

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.
