Jeff Simpson died from cancer in 2018 and became the first UK firefighter to have his death officially recorded as caused by the job.
Jeff never smoked, but after decades of exposure to toxic smoke and contaminants, he developed a rare cancer.
Now his wife Anne is fighting for a legal precedent.

Imagine there are only FIVE guaranteed fire engines available to cover an entire county at night.
That's what Oxfordshire County Council are proposing in the latest round of cuts.
They're also proposing to close five fire stations and force 42 firefighters into redundancy.

Our #StopSchoolCuts message is on the @financialtimes.com this week — and we're making sure that each MP receives it ahead of the #AutumnBudget.
With 74% of schools having less funding since 2010, let's restore this funding and give our school communities the resources they need to thrive.
