Ms Lombard was the first woman firefighter to die on duty in peacetime Britain.
The family of a firefighter killed in an arson incident nearly 30 years ago are among among the first people to be honoured with a new emblem.
The first woman firefighter to die on duty in peacetime Britain, she has been awarded a number of posthumous honours. Ms Lombard also posthumously awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal in 1998, in recognition of her bravery. "She just said 'that's it, this is what I want to do,'" Ms Lombard-Earl recalled, adding that Ms Lombard had first thrown herself into becoming a retained firefighter before starting work full time at Avon Fire and Rescue."She was not fussed about awards, though she seems to be racking them up I have to say - she would think it was a bit silly," Ms Lombard-Earl said.
