Two still in hospital after business park fire

Two firefighters remain in hospital three weeks after a fire at a business park that claimed three lives.

Firefighters Jennie Logan, 30, and Martyn Sadler, 38, along with father-of-two Dave Chester, 57, were killed in the blaze that engulfed the Bicester Motion site on 15 May.

Thames Valley Police has previously said they sustained injuries in line with those "typically caused by the collapse of part of a structure".

The force confirmed earlier that the two other firefighters left seriously injured were still in hospital.

The fire rapidly spread through a former aircraft hangar at the site on Buckingham Road, and a major incident was declared.

Ten fire and rescue crews were called to tackle the blaze as witnesses reported seeing black smoke in the sky.

An inquest into the deaths opened in Oxford on Tuesday and was adjourned until 25 November.

The force has confirmed that an unexplained death investigation was being led by its major crime unit, alongside fire investigators and the Health and Safety Executive.

Ms Logan and Mr Sadler, who previously worked for Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS) and was also part of London Fire Brigade, were only the fifth and sixth firefighters to die tackling a blaze in England in the past 15 years, according to Home Office statistics.

The incident was also the first time two firefighters had been killed in the same fire since Jim Shears and Alan Bannon died at Shirley Towers in Southampton in 2010.
