Three Dead, Two Injured in Major Bicester Fire Investigation Underway

A devastating fire at Bicester Motion resulted in the deaths of three individuals: firefighters Martyn Sadler and Jennie Logan, and businessman Dave Chester. Martyn Sadler, who came from a strong fire service family, was praised for his passion, dedication, and bravery, with his family describing him as the 'true definition of a hero.' Jennie Logan, who also died in the blaze, was remembered by her family as a loving, caring, and fearless person who balanced her firefighting career with running a successful dog business and her passion for rugby. The fire, which rapidly spread through a former aircraft hangar, was brought under control by emergency crews, and two other firefighters remain hospitalized in stable condition. Thames Valley Police have taken over the investigation from Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service to determine the cause of the fire. Fundraisers have been initiated in memory of the fallen firefighters, raising significant support from the community.
