Fallen firefighters honoured with red plaque
TWO firefighters killed in the line of duty in east London were honoured with a red memorial plaque yesterday.
Billy Faust, 36, and Adam Meere, 27, who died in 2004, are the first firefighters to be honoured under the Red Plaque Scheme, funded by the Fire Brigades Union’s Firefighters 100 Lottery.
Mr Faust and Mr Meere lost their lives while tackling a fire in the basement of a three-storey building on Bethnal Green Road.
