Hunting around today, I found this site - Firenet, the site of the British Fire Service - with an online donation for the NYC firefighters set up on the home page. And with lots of fascinating other stuff inside.

Anyway looking round it I came across thisabout a fire in Smithfield Meat Market in 1958 where a couple of firefighters were killed, and I remember there was a good song about that one at the time. I think it was printed in Sing or Spin. And I think John Foreman put it out as a broadsheet.

Can anyone come up with the words? The tune was a version of Dives and Lazarus.
