Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service are bidding a fond farewell to one of its on-call firefighters, Adrian Bowen.

Adrian is retiring after serving 32 years as a firefighter and watch manager at Oswestry Fire Station.

His firefighting career began back in 1992 when a Royal Mail work colleague encouraged him to sign up.

Shropshire has around 288 on-call firefighters, who fit in facing danger in their everyday lives.
