Flood Awareness Event
20 Tachwedd 2008
On the 18th of November I attended a Flood Awareness event at the National Assembly for Wales.
Following more frequent flooding incidents, the three Fire and Rescue Services in Wales held a reception at the National Assembly for Wales to highlight their increasing rescue work and to raise awareness of their capabilities in the event of emergencies in and around water. The Minister for Environment and Sustainability was the keynote speaker.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service staff, supported by Mid & West and South Wales Fire and Rescue Services also gave a short presentation. There was also a practical demonstration of equipment and techniques used in fast water rescues, high volume pumping and the deployment of water rescue stretchers.
Here is a photo of me with two South Wales Fire and Rescue Service Staff at the event and a member of staff from North Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
