I Have just heard from Ron Brown that EX WO "Smoky" Fairhurst passed away last week. Sadly, I have no details of funeral arrangements etc.
Smoky was a much liked and well respected Fireman - truly one of the old school. Many of us had reasons to be grateful to him. He was a flamboyant character with a tremendous sense of humour. I for one will miss those "mutton chops" at the reunions.
