In this edition of The Burning Issue we have a special report on vehicle extrication featuring articles written by Len Watson of resQmed, Mick Rogers of South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service and Mark Burnham of Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service. Each article focuses on a different aspect of vehicle extrication, from the history and how the responsibility originally fell to the Fire Service, to the training of rescue personnel and the importance of the UK Rescue Challenge, to the new strides being taken in extrication technology in the form of Derbyshire’s real life ‘Transformer’.
Elsewhere in this edition of The Burning Issue we turn our attention to Chester as they celebrate the centenary of their former fire station; Dave Prior tells us all about his experience as a Raleigh Team Leader on expedition in India and the International Firex Show that took place in May is reviewed.
