Fleur Lombard: Firefighter killed in arson incident honoured

The family of a firefighter killed in an arson incident nearly 30 years ago are among among the first people to be honoured with a new emblem.

Fleur Lombard, who worked for Avon Fire and Rescue, was just 21 when she died fighting a blaze at Leo’s Supermarket in Staple Hill, Bristol, on 4 February 1996.

The first woman firefighter to die on duty in peacetime Britain, she has been awarded a number of posthumous honours.

But it was today announced she and her family have become one of the first recipients of the new Elizabeth Emblem, which commemorates public servants who died in service.
