He started a market garden called "The Ponderosa" in a village about ten miles outside Birmingham but found that it wasn't working out. He was declared unfit for duty after collapsing during a drill because his lungs had been permanently damaged so he had no choice but to leave the fire service for good. Rather than waiting for breathing apparatus to arrive, he went into the house and rescued the child but was severely injured by inhaling toxic smoke. Ken went to a fire where a child was trapped upstairs. Ken Boon (Elphick) and Harry Crawford (Daker) were both old-fashioned "smokeys" (firemen) in the West Midlands Fire Service, Crawford took early retirement and moved to Spain to open a bar, leaving Ken behind.
