“On behalf of Oxford City Council and the City of Oxford, I want to express my condolences to the families of those firefighters, and the member of the public, who have tragically lost their lives in the fire at Bicester Motion.
“This is a terrible reminder for us all that firefighters, as well as the other members of the emergency services, put themselves at risk on a daily basis, to protect us all. We owe them a deep debt of gratitude.
“We are deeply saddened, and our thoughts are with the family, colleagues and friends of those we have lost in this tragic incident.”
Councillor Susan Brown, Leader of Oxford City Council
