Brave Conduct
In 1952 a fire which broke out in a lead mine in Westmorland resulted in the deaths of four men. When the fire was discovered a request was made for help from Winscales Rescue Station and it is scarcely necessary to mention that every possible assistance was forthcoming ; indeed, it was no doubt the prompt arrival of trained rescue workers that prevented a much higher death roll. Arising out of this occurrence, I am very pleased to record that Her Majesty the Queen was graciously pleased to Commend for Brave Conduct, Station Officer Kirk and Brigadesman Glaister, both of Winscales Rescue Station.
