Ady retires after 33 years service

A leading fire officer has hung up his helmet after 33 years service.

Ady Slack joined the service in 1984. He was given an award by Group Commander Simon Newton at an event to mark his retirement last week. Ady said: “It was always my ambition to be a firefighter. It was the excitement mainly, but also being able to help people in many ways and to have specialist skills and knowledge to do so.”
