FBU investigates Southampton firefighter deaths
The Fire Brigades Union has started its own inquiry into the deaths of two firefighters killed tackling a blaze at a block of flats.
James Shears, 35, and Alan Bannon, 38, died at the 15-storey Shirley Towers in Church Street, Southampton.
FBU General Secretary Matt Wrack said: “We want to find out what happened urgently, so that we can take steps to ensure that it never happens again.”
The FBU said it would share its findings with police.
It also plans to show the report to the Health and Safety Executive.
Mr Wrack said: “I have already spoken to the police to assure them of our support and co-operation.”
Two other firefighters suffered burns to their hands in the blaze which started on Tuesday. All the residents of the flats were rescued.
