A FIREMAN from Wall Heath has called it a day after 30 years of dedicated service.
Michael Knott has retired from Dudley Fire Station, where he had been based for the last nine years.
The married father-of-two, who lives in Beachcroft Road, has saved countless lives over three decades and served his last day on Thursday (July 22).
His colleagues paid tribute to him on twitter saying: "Dudley fire fighter Michael Knott is retiring after 31 years service to the communities of the Black Country.
"Mick has been a inspiration to our new fire fighters and saved many lives with his support to our community, thank you."
