This Week Saw The Retirement Of Station Officer Kent Gayle From The London Fire Brigade
With the lockdown, it would be easy to let this moment go without the recognition he richly deserves.
 
Kent has served his country in the Royal Navy and, since 1998, the Capital as a firefighter.
He started at Heathrow not long after the Fire station opened and then moved on to Willesden
A  promotion took Kent to Northolt, Willesden, Wembley, Mill Hill and finally Hendon.
Always the consummate, hard-working professional.
We are sure  Kent will look forward to spending the quality family time he loves as well as some golf or possibly another Great North Run.
 
 
Kenty,  Thank you for your service.
