liffe, currently serving at Hynd- burn Fire Station, and Fire-fight­ er Nick Lee, based at Blackburn Fire Station, will each receive Chief Fire Officer’s Commenda­ tions, together with five other firefighters. Two more firefighters, Tony


Gaffney and Shane Ramsdale, both from Blackburn, will each receive the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service Bravery Medal - one of its highest honours - for their part in the rescue. The citation for the awards reads: “At 2-32 a.m. on Wednes­

around 200 trees, including ash and oak, on the large hillside site close to Earby Youth Hostel and Birley Playing Fields. Across the UK the Woodland Trust is


busy with a five-year programme to plant 12 million new trees - one for each child in the country - and is actively encourag­ ing participation by schools, so that chil­ dren learn the value of trees. Over the two days at Marlfield FarnMR'
