WHEN Terry Punchard first became a part- time fireman a town siren reminiscent of war­ time air raids was used to call “all hands to the


pump”. Now pocket alerters are used by Clitheroe’s fire­


fighters — the people employed in other occupations who answer emergency calls as part of a retained fire-fighting operation for the town. Mr Punchard (46), of Cardigan Close, shared his


memories of the changes that have taken place in the fire service with colleagues when he retired as sub-off­ icer at the Clitheroe station, after 24 years’ service. As a sub-officer for the past seven years, he has


played an important part in training others in modem fire-fighting skills. He has also been a regular visitor to local schools to teach pupils of all ages the dangers of fire and how to follow basic safety rules. His wife, Marion, and grown-up sons, David and Damion, were present at a retirement party at Well-


g


ite Social Centre, when he received farewell gifts om colleagues. Station Officer David McGrath, who presented garden furniture to Mr Punchard, paid trib­


ute to his skills and loyalty. Afterwards, Mr Punchard told the Advertiser and


Times: “I ’ve seen some big changes in my 24 years with the fire service — the most notable being the chan­ geover from the siren to the pocket alerters and the introduction of highly-technical equipment for


fire-fighting. “Being a part-time sub-officer involves many hours


of extra work and little spare time. Now I am looking forward to being able to use the garden furniture and


to spending more time with my family.” Mr Punchard is a security officer with ICI at Clith­


eroe, a job he has had for 22 years. He was educated at Pendle County Primary School and Ribblesdale High School.


Our picture shows Mr Punchard (front centre) with colleagues at the presentation.
