Manchester fire: Family pays tribute to killed firefighter

It doesn't only happen elsewhere but thankfully it was only one

Quote:

The family of a firefighter killed tackling a blaze in Manchester have spoken of their pride in their "loving father".
Stephen Hunt, 38, was among 60 firefighters called to the fire at Paul's Hair World in Oldham Street. One other was taken to hospital.
The father-of-two was based at Manchester's Philips Park Fire Station.
Two 15-year-old girls have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and have been bailed until September.

Sad news indeed.

I've worked closely with Firefighters for years. Brave lot they are. I presume the girls were arrested in connection with starting the fire?

I've a friend in the Manchester Fire Service, this is probably the worst year for them for many as this is the fourth or fifth death both on and off duty.
