On 21 November, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service marked the exceptional contributions of some of its most dedicated and talented people at a celebration event held at Mytton Fold Hotel in Langho.
More than 70 people were honoured at the event with a range of awards.
Long Service Good Conduct Awards were given to those who have given exemplary service to Lancashire’s communities for 20, 30, and 40 years.
The highest standards of operational response at complex and challenging emergencies were recognised with Chief Fire Officer commendations and bravery awards.
Our Star Awards recognise members of staff nominated by their peers for exemplifying the Service’s STRIVE values and the national code of ethics for fire and rescue services. They were presented to the people making a real difference to their communities and their colleagues.
We also celebrated people who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to personal development through academic achievements alongside demanding job roles.
At the event, the Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire presented the retiring chief fire officer, Justin Johnston, with a long service good conduct award for 30 years' service.
