Firefighter injured in blaze released from hospital

A firefighter seriously injured in a major fire at a business park has been discharged from hospital, more than a month on from the fatal blaze.

Firefighters Jennie Logan, 30, and Martyn Sadler, 38, along with father-of-two Dave Chester, 57, were killed in the blaze that engulfed a hangar on the Bicester Motion site on 15 May.

Two other firefighters were also seriously injured in the incident - with one discharged from hospital earlier this month, and the second released this week.

Oxfordshire County Council, which operates the county's fire and rescue service, said it "remains in contact" with those injured and their families.

The fire was reported at about 18:30 BST on 15 May and rapidly spread through a former aircraft hangar at the site on Buckingham Road, and a major incident was declared.

Ten fire and rescue crews were called to tackle the blaze as witnesses reported seeing black smoke in the sky.

An inquest into the deaths of Ms Logan, Mr Sadler and Mr Chester opened in Oxford earlier this month, and was adjourned until 25 November.

Thames Valley Police previously said they sustained injuries in line with those "typically caused by the collapse of part of a structure".

An unexplained death investigation is being led by the force's major crime unit, alongside fire investigators and the Health and Safety Executive.

Ms Logan and Mr Sadler, were only the fifth and sixth firefighters to die tackling a blaze in England in the past 15 years, according to Home Office statistics.

The incident was also the first time two firefighters had been killed in the same fire since Jim Shears and Alan Bannon died at Shirley Towers in Southampton in 2010.
