GMFRS is one of the UK's largest Fire and Rescue Service, covering an area of approximately 500 square miles and a culturally diverse population of 2.7 million people.
From modern inner city developments to traditional mill towns, Greater Manchester is made of up 10 very different districts - Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan.
The Service is spread across 44 sites: 41 fire stations, a training centre, a technical centre and headquarters.
Our vision is to make Greater Manchester a safer place by being a modern, community focused and influential Fire and Rescue Service.
My husband is black and he says this sort of thing is making black people look stupid. His company were very interested to know his feeling on the whole thing and have a different perspective. Mind you he has never had a victim mentality.
i worked in the ramada hotel on this time and days i took people up too the hotel roof too see the damage they need the aramy locals was looting and the back handers of the work after was crazy ..i hear storys about how it was set up too go off now look at manchester makes me wonder
I can't believe people. They will take any opportunity to "loot" aka steal. I've watched docs about airline crashes, and there seriously are people who try to steal from deceased people. It's sickening!
How do I train properly for this phase? I have this test in 1 month and I confess that the part of assembling the parts scares me because I have no experience with them.. Thank you.
I remember walking through Manchester in 1997 for ages.... The windows were all put in with the blast. Horrific! Glad nobody died.... I also saw the bin site in Warrington where the two poor boys were murdered..... Shocking! No we have the mozzer threat EVERYWHERE!
Wow thats strange, what do they hide the hydrants in the ground under plates and then have to attach a pipe? That seems like a to of extra time required to set up a water source when seconds matter rather than a raised hydrant.
It takes about the same time. They are often done very quickly and they are underground as a lot of paths in the UK are small or are not suitable for above ground hydrants.
Lol paths are barely wide enough for two people to walk past each other without a great big post sticking out of the grind blocking the way that might be used once in its lifetime. Don't be so daft.
freezing is a factor. another is vandalism. putting a hydrant above ground makes it a target. no rusting up either on parts if the fire service keep them maintained at the station.
