CCTV appeal on fireman's death

The footage shows passers-by on foot and in cars

A mobile police station is opening in Cardiff to show CCTV footage shot shortly before the death of a firefighter in an explosion.

South Wales Police hope potential witnesses will see the film and offer information on the blast which killed Richard Jenkins, 28.

Mr Jenkins died at about 0110 BST on Sunday, 23 May at a former community centre in Bishopston Road, Ely.

Two men have been remanded on manslaughter charges.

The CCTV film and stills will be shown in a mobile police station in Bishopston Road between 1000 - 1600 BST on Thursday.

Police emphasised that the exercise was for the purpose of finding witnesses.

A police spokeswoman said: "We are urging people to drop in and have a look to see if it triggers anything in their memory.

"We are asking people to come and see if they can see themselves. It may be that someone didn't realise they were in the area (at that time).

"The information will be treated sensitively and with absolute confidence."

About 1,400 mourners paid tribute to Mr Jenkins on Monday in a funeral service at Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff.

Mr Jenkins, who lived in Bridgend with his wife and two children, was described as "a committed and professional firefighter and a devoted family man".
