A brilliant piece of Seil history shared with us this week 🔥
We were delighted to receive this photograph from Sandy Lobban, taken around 1988 when the Seil volunteer unit was first formed.
Sandy was Divisional Commander at the time and remembers the opening ceremony in the village hall, attended by Firemaster Clive Halliday, the Fire Committee Chairman and other guests. He described it as one of the highlights of his time in the service.
It’s a fantastic snapshot of the early days of the unit and a reminder of the people and community spirit that built what we have today.
A big thank you to Sandy for taking the time to send this on and for allowing us to share it.
