Dexter the East Midlands Fire Dog

HIS RETIREMENT AND YOUR CHANCE TO SAY THANK YOU

As many of you know (and you may follow him on twitter @MidsDog) we have a Derbyshire Fire Dog, Dexter - who serves the whole of the East Midlands in times of crisis and fire risk.

Dexter, along with his handler Dave, is due to retire and a small reception


of thanks for their service is being hosted by the Mayor of Chesterfield.

This will take place in the Town Hall on Wednesday 30th March at 11am.

I have had had the pleasure of meeting Dave and Dexter when they came to unveiling of our Animal Memorial in Holmebrook Valley Park.

Accordingly, on Wednesday I will be taking Sparky down to the Town Hall so she can hand over her very own doggy card of thanks to Dexter on his 10 years service and his much deserved retirement.

Can you each and all think about whether you bring your dog to the steps of the town hall on Wednesday for 11am where Sparky will be handing over her woofy card.

(If your dog can’t come down to the Town Hall perhaps you might drop a retirement card down from your doggo addressed to Dexter The Fire Dog, c/o The Mayor of Chesterfield, Town Hall, Rose Hill, Chesterfield. S40 1LP).

Many thanks, Ed

(Walker One for Sparky the Husky)
