It has been as busy week as we have also been hosting Newcastle University who are carrying out some important research on lithium-ion battery fires at our Bury Training Site. The results of this research will help us better prepare our firefighters to deal with these incidents.

Change of scenery this morning for Green Squad 1.24. Time to test their rope skills in the natural environment using natural features. Couldn’t have asked for better weather either. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service #recruits #rope #training

The Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service trauma training team are at the Trauma Care Charity UK conference this week. Keeping up to date with the latest developments in trauma care and looking at how we can provide the best training to our crews.
