Tributes have been paid to a South Yorkshire Firefighter who passed away suddenly on Saturday afternoon having just completed two-day shifts before he was due to start his set of nights.
FF Calvin Dodd was based at Doncaster Fire Station and had been with South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue service for several years.
Martin Reading, a friend of Calvin, paid tribute to him when he said:
“He was a fantastic firefighter and family man.
“Leaving us all far too soon but with many great memories as the popular man, we will all remember him for.
“We will all miss you forever, Cal”.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Calvin’s family with the funeral costs. So far, £3,109 has been raised.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.
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.
