News Story
Our members will be represented at tomorrow's Fire Service funeral for a long-time member of Silverdale Volunteer Fire Brigade. Trevor Hewitt Capon was in his 82nd year. He joined Silverdale Brigade in 1957 and rose to Deputy Chief Fire Officer, office he held when he resigned in 1970. Not done with service to the community, he rejoined, enrolling with the Brigade's Operational Support team in 2007. He retired in March this year. Trevor was honoured just a few months ago when he was made Honorary Life Member of the Brigade. His death ends something of a dynasty connecting the Capon family with their local brigade: son Nigel heads Operational Support and grandson Daniel is a senior fire-fighter. Our condolences go to them and their families.
