Mr Campbell began his career at the station as a firefighter before he moved on to roles within Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, including watch manager.

During this time he remained Bicester's station support officer for a number of years.

After moving on from that to Banbury, he continued to provide on call cover as a crew manager.

By working at Bicester Fire Station, Mr Campbell was following in the footsteps of his dad, Paul, who also worked at the station as a firefighter.
