Town mourns loss of 'best of Bicester' after fire
Jennie Logan, 30, and Martyn Sadler, 38, died while tackling the fire at Bicester Motion on Thursday evening. David Chester, 57, a father of two who ran a business at the site and lived in Bicester, was also killed.
Many observed a two-minute silence in the town's Garth Park on Sunday and Bicester Town Council will open its book of condolence at Garth House from 09:00 BST on Monday.
Nicholas Mawer, who represents Bicester North on Cherwell District Council, told the BBC: "These people are the best of Bicester."
Another two firefighters who suffered serious injuries remain in hospital, Thames Valley Police has said.
Mr Mawer, who attended a service at St Edburg's Church on Sunday, added: "Thankfully these incidents are very rare but it's deeply affected the community.
"You could tell how affected the people were and at the centre of this are the families of the people who we lost."
He said town councillors were in early discussions regarding some kind of memorial for those who died, and that it would be further discussed in the annual town meeting later.
"I'm sure in the fullness of time we'll bring forward a proposal that's suitable," he said.
Michael Brooker, a fire officer with Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and friend of Martyn Sadler, said the photo that had been distributed of Mr Sadler with a "big beaming smile - that was Martyn".
"He always made sure we had fun," he continued.
"It's kind of surreal because the room would light up when he turned up, and he would just have this air of confidence that would say, 'you know what, we've got this, we can do whatever we need to do'.
"He really did have a generous heart, he was a really amazing guy."
Mr Brooker told the BBC that he and his colleagues "have cried together... we've laughed together again".
"It's not going to be easy the next couple of weeks, we know that, and we need to make sure we keep going," he continued.
"We're resilient people, we do hurt, but we do need to honour them and continue doing what they loved doing themselves."
Ms Logan and Mr Sadler were involved in Bicester Rugby Union Football Club's (BRUFC) women's team, Bicester Vixens.
"We are a tight-knit club," BRUFC's chairman Paul Jaggers said.
"We are a family and it's hit the club and the wider community very hard.
"Obviously losing two of your members in any situation is really tough and it's had a profound impact."
Both firefighters worked for Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and Mr Sadler was also part of the London Fire Brigade.
Mr Chester, who ran family business Chesters & Sons at Bicester Motion, joined the estate when it was bought 12 years ago and was described as "part of the fabric of our estate and a friend to us all".
Historic England, which had worked with Mr Chester, said he had been a "valued partner" who it was a "privilege" to work alongside.
Fire investigators and Thames Valley Police are working to establish the cause of the blaze in what the police said was a "complex investigation which may take some time".

Head of top Welsh independent school steps down after more than 30 years
The headteacher of one of Wales' best known and oldest independent schools has retired after 33 years. Sally Davis said she shed tears as she left Howell's School in Llandaff where she has spent half her life. Over more than three decades at the school Sally, 66, saw Howell's transform from an all-girls boarding school to a day school admitting boys. During her career Sally, who grew up in Newport, navigated huge social changes from social media to the effects of the pandemic and smartphones on teaching and the lives of her pupils and staff. You can read more about results at Wales' independent schools here READ MORE: Welsh exam board gave 1,500 students the wrong GCSE grades READ MORE: Schools don't do enough to tell pupils about an alternative form of education The former geography teacher came to Howell's aged 33 after 10 years teaching in tough inner city comprehensive schools in London where she was also deputy head of a state technology college. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here. Arriving at the fee charging school as deputy head Sally only ever intended to stay for a few years but said "Howell's gets into your bones - it's like a family". She has been headteacher of the now 600-pupil school for 17 years. Sally, whose father was a butcher, attended Bassaleg Comprehensive before heading to Bedford College, London University, telling her parents: "I won't be back from the bright lights of London." But as time went on she said "hireath" called her home to Wales and she applied for the job at Howell's with no experience of fee-paying independent schools. "It was a culture shock arriving at Howell's. It was fabulous but very different and new. "I arrived and it was just a joy to teach because in London it had been all about behaviour control. "I thought I would stay two years or so at Howell's but it gets into your bones - the buildings and people are fantastic." When Sally arrived at the 165-year-old school in Llandaff it had around 700 pupils, all girls, 15 of whom were boarders. Since then it has become a day school only, began admitting boys into the sixth form 20 years ago and opened a nursery, reception and year one class. Other social changes meant after school provision was also introduced and sixth formers no longer have to wear uniforms. Many of the Howell's parent are key workers and during the pandemic the school remained open as well as running online remote lessons. Sally came in every day during Covid and said, despite the dark times of the pandemic, the school community pulled together. The need to rapidly go online transformed teaching for the better in some ways meaning that remote learning can still be accessed if people cannot come in owing to illness or bad weather. Equally, social media and smartphones had pros and cons, she says. Smartphones are banned up to sixth form with pupils told to store them in specially locked pouches during the day. But access to the internet has also helped teaching and learning, she said. During her last year in charge at Howell's Sally, who is married with children and grandchildren, had to deal with the impact of VAT charges on school fees. She said Howell's is lucky that as part of the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST) – a group of 26 schools – it benefits from the scale, resources, and efficiencies of a larger network. That meant Howell's managed to mitigate the full financial impact of the tax change. It increased fees, inclusive of VAT, by 12% in January this year, while absorbing the remaining 8% the government charges. The effects of VAT on private schools. From September fees will rise by 2.95% but Sally points out it took other measures to cushion costs for families such as providing free pre and after school care. The school also funds various bursaries and scholarships which she is proud of. Howell's was established in 1860 at the bequest of Thomas Howell, a Welsh merchant trading in Bristol, London and Seville, who willed 12,000 gold ducats to the Drapers' Company to provide dowries "every yere for Maydens for ever" and those funds are still used towards bursaries and scholarships . After her own education and working the first 10 years of her career in the state sector, Sally is aware that some people feel fee paying education is divisive, but she believes independent schools do have an important place in society and education. And after so long at the school she is sorry to go but wanted to leave while she still loved it. "I have always found teaching exciting. Technology advances during my time as a teacher has had benefits. "During my time at Howell's I always wanted to go in and was never bored. "It was a tough decision to retire. I have been half my life here. I was 66 in July. "But the time to leave is when you are still enjoying the party. "It is an emotional thing to leave a school. It sounds corny but Howell's is like a family. "Teachers change lives and it is a privilege to teach. "I did shed a tear when i left, there is no doubt about it." Sally will be back briefly on exam results days later this month. After that she is looking forward to spending more time with her husband Julian, who works at St David's College in Cardiff, their two adopted grown up children and their grandchildren. Laura Beynon will succeed Sally when term starts in is currently senior deputy head of Redmaids' High School, an independent school for girls in Bristol. She is also a geographer and studied geography at Durham University and a PGCE at Cambridge.

A Fish Falls From the Sky and Sparks a Brush Fire in British Columbia
A small brush fire and power outage in British Columbia started on Wednesday not with lightning or a careless camper, but with an airborne fish, according to fire officials. With the help from nearby ranchers and employees from the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority, a Canadian electric utility company, firefighters were able to contain and extinguish the blaze, Ashcroft Fire Rescue said on Facebook. Then came the investigation. It wasn't faulty equipment, according to fire officials. It was a fish. The authorities believe an osprey flying overhead dropped its catch midflight. The fish struck power lines, producing sparks that landed on dry grass and ignited the blaze, which took up less than an acre. The closest river, the likely place where the osprey caught its prey, is about two miles from the fire scene. It's unclear why the bird let go of the fish, the authorities said, but there is at least one theory. Ashcroft Fire Rescue wrote that it suspected that the size of the fish, combined with the heat that day, 'probably caused the rather tired bird to drop its catch.' The other possibility? 'It's tired of raw fish and wanted to give cooked a try,' it said. Electricity was temporarily knocked out in Ashcroft, a village of more than 1,500 people that is about 210 miles northeast of Vancouver. As for the osprey, firefighters reported that 'our prime suspect sustained no injuries in the incident and is still flying at large.' The fish, charred and probably overcooked, was not so lucky.

'Record-breaking' 22-inch rat size of a small cat found nesting at Teesside home
The discovery of a huge rat could be a sign of things to come unless action is taken to stem the burgeoning rodent population, councillors have warned. The potentially record-breaking rat in UK terms - said to measure approximately 22 inches long from nose to tail - was discovered recently in a property in Normanby by a pest controller that had been called to investigate. The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) has been told the dead mammal, a photograph of which has been shared on social media, had been nesting in the home. It has been likened to a 'sewer rat' and, while it is unknown how it accessed the property, rats had been reported in the area in back alleys nearby. In a Facebook post, Eston ward councillors David Taylor and Stephen Martin called on Redcar and Cleveland Council to get a grip of the problem, working with other agencies. They said they wanted to see a 'full vermin survey and treatment plan' implemented in council-owned areas across the borough and joint action also involving businesses, landlords and social housing providers. Cllr Taylor also described public bins in parts of Eston and Whale Hill 'overflowing', with shops, particularly takeaways, dumping items in them and providing 'easy food' for rodents. Overgrown vegetation on public land, providing hiding spaces for rats, was another aspect highlighted. He said the council had to take the problem seriously with sightings increasing. Rats can spread disease to humans and are also known to breed quickly. Cllr Taylor said: 'The longer this is ignored, the worse it will get. It is a growing problem.' He said the rat caught was 'massive', and likened to a small cat or dog, and he had been told by people working in pest control a typical sewer rat could get that big. As with many other local authorities, Redcar and Cleveland Council no longer offers a pest control solution to private householders, although it retains a full-time officer to tackle issues on council land. Meanwhile, not all social housing providers automatically offer such a service, or if they do it is only on a discretionary basis.

He said he accepted the extensive action being called for would 'cost a fortune', but the problem arising was also a health risk. He said: 'They'll keep multiplying and unless there is a big cull in the area, people will keep experiencing this.' A spokeswoman for the council said: "The council has a dedicated pest control officer who manages pest issues on council-owned land. While we no longer provide a wider pest control service, we do offer advice to residents where possible. 'The council continues to work with Beyond Housing, Northumbrian Water and other partners to address complex issues and explore potential solutions. There is also helpful guidance and preventative measures on our website to support people in dealing with pests."
