North Wales Fire and Rescue staff – including two from Llangollen - were recently honoured at their 2022 awards evening.

The ceremony in Rhyl saw members of the service recognised for their long-standing service and commitment.

Lord Lieutenant of Gwynedd, Edmund Seymour Bailey presented Long Service and Good Conduct Medals as well as 30 and 40-years clasps to operational staff from the service.

The Long Service and Good Conduct medals are awarded to firefighters by His Majesty’s Representatives to recognise 20 years of service, whilst the clasps are issued in recognition of 30 and 40 years’ service.

Awards recognising 50 years of operational service as well as community awards to recognise members of staff and the community who have worked hard to improve community safety in North Wales were also presented by Dawn Docx, chief fire officer, and Councillor Dylan Rees, chair of the North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority.

A Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was awarded to Adam Clubbe, crew manager at Llangollen, while an Employer of the Year Award was presented to Morris Cook  of Llangollen.

Dawn Docx said: "Receiving a medal or clasp is an important occasion for every firefighter and this ceremony demonstrates the degree of commitment and dedication each one of the recipients has given to the Fire and Rescue Service in North Wales.

“All recipients can take pride and satisfaction in receiving their Long Service and Good Conduct Medals or clasps.

“I was also delighted this year that we were able to celebrate the community awards for the first time since the pandemic. 

“My heartfelt congratulations go to all those who attended, as well as to the staff who opted to receive their medals or recognition privately. Your service is truly appreciated, both by me as chief fire officer, your colleagues and by the communities we all serve.”
