Tributes have been made to Dorset & Wiltshire Firefighter, Simon Kaye, who sadly died yesterday after being taken ill at Christchurch Fire Station. 

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service’s Chief Fire Officer, Ben Ansell said: 

“This morning (13th April), Firefighter Simon Kaye, was taken ill during a routine day shift at Christchurch Fire Station. 

“Despite valiant attempts by his colleagues, paramedics, doctors and nurses at The Royal Bournemouth Hospital, Simon sadly passed away. 

“Our thoughts at this very sad time are with Simon’s family and friends and with his colleagues who were with him at the time he was taken ill. 

“We do not believe Simon’s death is related to the Coronavirus outbreak.

“Everyone across Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service has been stunned by these events, and this is a devastating loss for us all. 

“Simon had been a firefighter for over 30 years and served at stations across our Service and before that in West Yorkshire. I personally worked closely with Simon for a number of years and know he was an experienced, professional and skilled firefighter who was highly regarded by his colleagues.

“His passing is a huge loss to us all and my thoughts and deepest condolences go out to his partner and family. 

“I want to pay tribute to the firefighters from Christchurch who were with Simon today and to our colleagues in the other emergency services and the NHS who fought so hard to save his life. 

“Flags at stations and workplaces across Dorset & Wiltshire will be flown at half-mast in Simon’s honour.”

A spokesperson for the Firefighters Charity said:

“Our thoughts today are with the family, friends and colleagues of Dorset and Wiltshire firefighter Simon Kaye who passed away while on duty at Christchurch Fire Station yesterday morning”.

A spokesperson for the Fire Brigades Union said:

“We are heartbroken to learn of the death of Simon Kaye, FBU member and firefighter in @DWFireRescue.

“#WeRemember Simon and send our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues”.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
