A plaque has been unveiled in memory of two firefighters who died following an explosion at a Sheffield steel plant.
Bob Smith, 47, and Paul Parkin, 27, died from injuries sustained in the blast at British Steel Corporation’s Tinsley Plant on 25 February 1974.
Their story was a “vital part of local history and the history of the fire service”, the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) said.
The tribute was unveiled at Parkway Fire Station in Sheffield in a ceremony attended by serving and retired firefighters and family members.
