years of meritorious service.: Mr Clive Keighley, who lives in
vice, then called the Lancashire County Fire Brigade Service, in September 1982, at the age of 23, and has served the community since. Referring to the awards ceremo ny, which was held at the service’s .training centre, in Euxton, Chor-
Ribchester, was one of the 21 members of the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, who after sharing brave, life-risking 400 years of service between them, received the award for exemplary behaviour. The 44-year-old joined the ser
ley, he said: “I am very proud to have received this medal after years of service in a job that I sin cerely enjoy. “I t was a delight to see friends
at the ceremony whol had trained with when I first joined the service also receiving the medal.” County Councillor and chair
man of the Lancashire Combined Authority Mr Bob 'Wilkinson pre sented the medals, which were instituted by Royal Warrant in 1954 to honour firefighters who have rendered a long and dedicat ed service. Mr Keighley, who is based at
Darwen Fire Station, and enjoys walking, gardening and fishing in his spare time, intends to continue to work in the service for another 10 years before retiring.
