Oxford MP says investigations into the Bicester fire are looking to "make sure such an incident never happens again"
Anneliese Dodds says “it will be really important that lessons are learned”
An Oxford MP says it’s important that lessons are learned from the tragic fire in Bicester to ensure that a similar incident “never happens again”.
Today marks on months since the blaze broke out at Bicester Motion, on 15 May 2025.
The incident took the lives of two firefighters, Jennie Logan and Martin Sadler, as well as local businessman Dave Chester.
Anneliese Dodds, Member of Parliament for Oxford East says, “we owe our firefighters - they run towards danger when most people would be running away from it”.
She said: “We're all thinking about the three people who horribly were killed, and we still have two firefighters, of course, who were injured, so I think we're all thinking about them.
“In parallel to that, that investigation is ongoing and it will be really important that lessons are learned. I know that everyone who's working at the site is absolutely determined to ensure that - and that goes right across the fire service, the Fire Brigades Union, the local authorities, and the other emergency services who are involved too.”
The Labour MP added: “I know that all of those engaged in the investigation will be seeking to understand precisely what happened, how we can make sure that such an incident never happens again.”
