The father of a firefighter who was killed in a blaze at a former RAF base has paid tribute to his “hero” daughter.
Jennie Logan, 30, died alongside her colleague Martyn Sadler, 38, who was also part of the London Fire Brigade.
Business owner David Chester, 57, also passed away after explosions were heard at Bicester Motion on Thursday.
Two other firefighters from Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service suffered severe injuries and are currently being treated in hospital.
Emergency services were called to the business park at around 6.40pm, with ten fire engines required to battle to bring the blaze under control overnight.
It is understood that Ms Logan, an experienced dog trainer, was a retained firefighter for the force, meaning she was on-call and ready to respond rather than a full-time employee.
A gold plaque has been installed at the entrance to the site following the tragedy, with members of the public leaving flowers at the scene.
Tributes have been pouring in for all three victims — and Ms Logan's father Ian thanked his local planespotting club after it paid a heartbreaking response to the tragedy.
A member of the group posted online: “All of us at Turweston offer our sincere condolences at this terrible time and will support Ian and his family in anyway that we can, and remember his hero of a daughter who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.”
A close friend of Ms Logan added: “I hoped it wasn't true, I begged it wasn't. I can dry my tears and remember you but I can never get you back.
“'I've never met anyone like you Jen, it's not fair. Life is cruel but now everyone can be proud of the hero that I saw, that I heard, that I hugged.”
Paying respects to Mr Sadler, his cousin David wrote: 'Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming number of messages following the devastating loss of my cousin, colleague, role model and hero.”
London Fire Commissioner Andy Roe said in a statement that Mr Sadler “exemplified courage and selflessness” having been a leading firefighter in Ealing and instructor at the Fire Service College.
Bicester Rugby Club, where both firefighters competed, shared: “Our hearts and deepest condolences go out to their families, friends and our members at this terrible time.”
Meanwhile, Bicester Motion said it considered groundworks and fencing boss Mr Chester had a “selfless spirt” and was “part of the fabric of our estate and a friend to us all”.
Bicester Motion, which is home to more than 50 businesses, focused on engineering and classic car restoration on the former site of RAF Bicester, which was decommissioned in 2004.
On Friday, Bicester Motion confirmed the site will remain closed and guarded by officers over the weekend, as investigators launched an unexplained death investigation.
The victim’s families are being supported by specially trained officers.
