Fire On The Hill

Three fires on Meadhall Hill in six hours should be a problem for the fire service. The fourth makes it clear that something older has noticed the station’s closure.

As Crew Manager Steve Fenner and the Quiet Service compare modern operational records with parish custom, they uncover a duty that has survived every institution created to perform it.

The building was never the promise. And something on the hill is still waiting to see whether the watch will be kept.
