The inquest into the deaths of a Poole firefighter and his colleague, during a tower block blaze in Southampton 2 years ago, has reached a verdict of misadventure.

It essentially means no-one was to blame, but the Fire Brigades Union and Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service have worked together to agree 10 key recommendations to stop anything like it happening again.

Dad of two James Shears who was 35 - and 38 year old Alan Bannon - died while tackling the fire in a 9th floor flat at Shirley Towers in April 2010.
