Bexley Fire Station

Very welcoming and friendly fire station crew at Bexley station.

Gave my grandson a tour yesterday. Went beyond expectations. Great crew, very informative. Thank you very much!

So friendly and lovely!! Came to our road to test our hydrants and they were just so lovely!

Hallo, I am Clive Jones, I served in charge of the 'Green Watch' @ E28 Bexley from 1985 - 1993, I retired on 28.06.1993, and now live in Co Cork, Ireland.
During my time at E28 my crew and I were responsible for changing the 'Forecourt' from plain 'Concrete Slabs' to the Trees + Plants that now make a more pleasant display, we also had a lovely pond full of 'Goldfish.
We used to get all our trees + Plants from 'Bexley Council' garden centre @ 'Hall Place'.
In the late 1980s due to a heavy fall of 'Snow' I took my Crew out to visit all the 'Retired Members' on our 'Ground' then with great trepidation I informed the 'Chief Officer' of my actions, expecting a reprimand - but got congratulations and a reply from him to the effect that in future bad weather all 'Stations would be encouraged to visit their 'Retired Members' - gradually my initiative evolved through the 'Welfare' to including free burial up to the age of '60' for all retired members where ever they lived, sadly I am now to old to avail of this 'Perk' being now almost 85,
but in the pharology of messages from incidents in my day - I've 50% spread (waist) Half of Roof Off (hairline) but still Mobile & Available.
So - Great memories - enjoying retirement, and 'Best Wishes for Christmas & New Year' to you all.
Clive Jones
