I spent a fascinating couple of hours at lunchtime today observing the Fire Service, Police and Ambulance Service conduct a CBRN (chemical, biologicial, radiation, nuclear) mock exercise at Castle Irwell student village.
One can only hope that the equipment they use is never needed in a real-life emergency, but we live in a volatile world and it is reassuring to know that we have the equipment, capability and trained professionals to deal with such a situation should one arise.
I’m very grateful to the Fire Service for inviting the Fire Authority Councillors and the ward Councillors for Irwell Riverside down to view the exercise and explain what was going on.
