Unbelievable this.
Fire Service , stationed a mile away, called within 2 minutes of the bomb. Refuse to go to the Arena and drive 3 miles in the other direction to a 'rendezvous point' and wait there for 2 hours. |

They followed a procedure where they thought their was an active shooter, seems a terrible breakdown in communication which cannot be acceptable.

I know it's said jest leaves or at least I hope it it is ! As I said creating this topic it was whistle blowers from the rank and file that the inquest came about. I don't think anyone could question the courage of our fire fighters. The saddest thing is many of them have advanced first aid skills and maybe had they been able to get to the scene maybe a few more lives could of been saved.

It isn't the Firefighters fault they were held back.
Common sense to keep them away until the danger from a gunman and/or other bombs is determined. 2 hours does seem exceptional if that's the case. Hardly pansies Steve. |

As said above, the men wanted to do their job. However, due to ever increasing health and safety regs and our ever increasing PC society I'm guessing commanders have to put the safety of their crew before that of the public.

Was about to post the same saddo. Regulations/protocol/h&S/fear of litigation ahead of a spontaneous human response.

Fire Chiefs are under immense pressure in circumstances like this.
Send them in immediately without thought and another bomb goes off could see them face manslaughter charges. |
