West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service has honoured its longest-serving members of staff at their Recognition and Achievement Awards Ceremony.

The ceremony recognised those who have served 20 and 40 years in the fire service through the presentation of Long Service and Good Conduct Medals.

The medals were presented by Mrs Susan Pyper, the Lord-Lieutenant of West Sussex, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen.

Chief Fire Officer, Sabrina Cohen-Hatton said: “The contributions that all our medal winners have made to their local communities is remarkable. It’s beyond comprehension just how many lives our medal recipients have collectively impacted during their careers.
