'An extraordinary accomplishment' as firefighter marks 40 years of service to same Shropshire communitySteve Paige joined Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service at Church Stretton on April 18, 1984 and took over as officer in charge in 1997.
This, his colleagues say, has guaranteed the availability of the fire service crew, and therefore protecting the lives and well-being of his community."This is quite an extraordinary accomplishment, one which I doubt is matched anywhere in UK let alone Shropshire," said a fire station spokesperson on social media.
On call firefighter Steve added:"I feel so proud to have served, and still do, the local community here in Church Stretton and the surrounding areas.
