MAY 11th 1985 And A New Stn Officer In Charge

Posted by Mark Elliott on May 8, 2009 at 9:17 PM

What a day May 11th 1985 turned out to be for everyone.

The day turned out to be one of the most horrific for the firemen of WY, And especially the new station officer on Green watch at Nelson St.

Allen Jones was ironically on his first day as station officer after taking over from Ted Maskill who moved over to Shipley.

An unbelievable coincidence, And one that I am sure Allen and his colleagues will never forget.

The initial PDA was pumps 3 + TL + HP, But Allen radioed back and made pumps 8, And so on upto 12 ? in total.

I was at Valley Parade that day and I saw everything.

My heartfelft condolences to the family & friends of the poor people who lost their lives that very sad day.

These details are incorrect Alan Jones had served at Bradford for quite a while before the Valley Parade fire Dave
