Bexley Fire Station

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

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

Very welcoming and friendly fire station crew at Bexley station.

I hope that I have got the right fire station because I felt so vulnerable & my neighbour took me in because I was locked out & after phoning locksmith, Police & Fire Service especially The Fire Service who were amazing, they looked after me so well & did judge me because I would not know what I would have done if they had not been there for me.
