The fire station announced today that Dave Dyke will officially retire on December 13 this year, after more than 17 years working for the Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service.
Dave began his career as a firefighter on August 21 in 2007 and has served the border town and wider county tackling fires, road traffic incidents, and saving lives.
A joiner by trade, Dave was described by Crew Manager at Oswestry Fire Station James Lewis as "very confident with tools". He said Dave "knew how to get things done on a job".
