Hey y’all-this is Katie who visited around Jan. 16th and I just wanted to say thanks a lot for letting me come in and look around. My tour got cut short ,however, I did get to see your rescue truck (which was very nice) and took a picture of someone sliding down the pole. We obviously do not have a pole as all of our stations are one story, although strangly enough, people who visit still ask if we have one. People also ask if we have a dog in which we don’t because one of the guys was allergic to it-maybe we should have gotten rid of him instead do you think? Anyway, thanks again and y’all are welcome to come visit our station here in Auburn, Alabama, if you ever find yourself here. Katie

Hey Euston,
My name is Jess and I visited on December 31 from Pasadena, Maryland
USA. I was given a very detailed tour by Rich and he has pictures if you
would like to remember who I am. Most of you remember me as "Oh my God that
is so cool" X20 Thank you all for showing me around, I love all your "pink"
outfits but I still think they are maroon, when I come back to London I
will be sure to visit you all again and, in a few weeks you all should
receive a patch from my station. Your website is so good and on a journalist
level on the of the best fire station sites I have ever seen, you all should be
very proud. My station webpage is Herald Harbour VFD feel free to visit and
leave a note in our guestbook. Thank you all so much, hope you all have a great
New Year.
Much love, Jess

Hello,
Just a quick note to let you know I really enjoyed your site. It's put together very well and has great information. Maybe during my next Holiday to London, I can pay Euston Station a visit. It would be great to meet you guys and maybe catch a call or 2.

Take care and be safe!!

Hi there,
W e live in Edinburgh,and as you'll probably know most of the brigades up here use scania appliances.It'll make a nice change to see volvos and atego.
SO, we were wondering if it was at all posible to pop in at some point and get some pics of the appliances and maybe talk to some of the guys. We.re gonna be staying at a hotel next to euston stn,so we're just around the corner.

p.s We both thought the web site is fabulous.Very informative .Nice clear close up photos.A well layed out and varied site. Just what we're looking for. Keep it going that way please.
we look forward to hearing from you .

Graeme would like to say a very big thank you to the stn officer and all the firefighters who took the time to talk to him and show him around the appliances,especialy to the guys of red watch who let him hose down the car park.thanks for the t-shirt and the other gifts.
we had a wonderful time over the weekend.you made our little holiday that more memorable.

I had some happy days at Euston, with Stn Os Dickie Bird and Ted Kington, this was around 1970.Posted in on promotion to Lfm, after just six weeks promoted to temp sub officer and in charge of the station for 3 months. White watch biggest bunch of reprobates at the time, but I got on famously with them.Great site, Great station.

Just a short missive to say how much I enjoyed the browse through your web site, a lot of work has been put into it. I served at C27 Clerkenwell White Watch 1964 for a couple of years enjoying the rule under the old LCC when the GLC came into power the old regime was not the same came onto your ground for the odd shout the white watch at that time were good bunch of lads best wishes to you all.

Guys your doing a great job, The locals out here in Baghdad could do with a spot of your help every now and then. It was a great pleasure and infact an honour (very proud moment of my life) working with you guys ,and i have had the teams out here in stitches with some the funnies that the euston crews found ourselves in. Keep safe fella's

Well to everyone at Euston Fire Station, what a FANTASTIC website you have put together. I joined the London Fire Brigade in 1995 and served for just over seven years at Euston Fire Station. In 2002 I transferred back to the North West where I now work for the Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service. My seven years at Euston were the best days of my life, (to date) browsing through your website has brought back many, many happy memories for me. It was an honour and privilege to serve with all of you at Euston and in these uncertain times facing the Fire Service I urge you all to stay true to your beliefs. I look forward to seeing you all again one day.
Stay Safe.

Hi,
just want to say what a great site, must be one of the best around, hope you can help me with these few questions on what must be a very sad day for the brigade. I send my heart felt wishes to those lost in this fire.The questions about the new FRU is it on the run yet ?, Will all FRU crews London wide be trained in line rescue. Why has the new FRU have a raised roof ? and is all of new FRU equipment brand new. Hope you can help will these questions.

all the best and keep up the great work you do - Brian Moffatt. (Q+A session done)

Hi there from Hampshire.

May i start by saying how sorry we were to hear about the loss of two of your collegues, it brings home to us all what the job is really all about.My thoughts, and the thoughts of my watch go out to you all and the families of the two firefighters.

Great site you have set up, probably one of the best fire station sites in the uk, well done!!
I currently serve in Southampton at Redbridge, and the Station im transfering to has the Special Equipment Unit stationed there, C54 St Marys in the city centre. The SEU is almost identical to your FRU, serving the same role and carrying dedicated cutters and spreaders and a whole host of other gear for any occasion. One good aspect of our SEU is it attends all fires and confirmed icidents in and around the city of Southampton, as well as when requested at RTA trapped or other incidents where the services of the SEU and its ever willing crews are needed. Can be fun!! Hampshire currently runs with 4 such units.
I visited Euston back in the nineties, when i served with the MOD as a firefighter attached to the USAF at Mildenhall, spent a couple of nights riding the FRU, I think i picked two very quiet nights!!!
It would be great to re visit sometime.
Take care, and hope to be able to arrange a visit, even a mutual visit if anyone is interested sometime.

Thank you for many happy memories, although I never served at Euston, I did have occasion to standby with C27 Clerkenwells pump on more than one occassion. I was with the LFB from 1961 to 1981. Reading the names of those who served at Euston, rekindled old memories of the shouts with the ET etc. You guys have put together a great site which pays a very great tribute to those who served with the Brigade at Euston and other stations, Thank you.

What a great website! Full of great info and superb pictures, now if only we had those kind of shouts here in sleepy Suffolk :) Just shows what a great asset London has in its FFs and the FRU crews in particular, if they ever get to the shout!

I would just like to say what a great london fire fighter Brian Freeman is, not only is he the best Sub-Officer but the best dad!!!! Altogether now, aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh(Dad I better get paid for this)

Congratulations on a superb website! I, along with the greatest team of trainers ever assembled were responsible for training the Fire Rescue Unit crews at Euston during the mid 90's. I have never in all my service met such a dedicated and committed team of fire fighters, as the FRU crews from Euston. They are all a credit to the Brigade and to the people of London whom they serve. My best wishes to you all,
Pete Gwilliam

It looks like I`m only the second one to view this web site or at least sign in.
When the website is finished it might be quite reasonable. How about a contact page for ex-Euston members? You never know some of those `real` Firemen might actually want to talk to each other. From the look of your photographs half the current personnel look incapable of speaking anyway, eating a lot yes!
Ken Wheatley Ex Euston personnel, email the site if you would like a contacts page

What a website! It was well worth waiting for. Oh by the way is that Richard with his hand on his hip in the photo? DONT EDIT MY MESSAGE EITHER!
