Title: Lincoln Firefighters Practice High-Rise Emergencies at Local Hospital
Residents of Lincoln are urged not to worry if they detect ‘smoke’ emanating from Lincoln County Hospital over the coming week. Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue are set to conduct a vital training drill, developed to boost their readiness for high-rise emergencies. This exercise will involve fifty firefighters and six fire engines and will be conducted in a section of the hospital currently undergoing refurbishment. Artificial smoke will be utilised to generate realistic situations. Matt King, the head of response at the fire service, underscored the significance of such exercises, affirming, “This is an excellent chance for us to evaluate our plans and preparedness.” The public is advised to stay calm and understand the necessity for such readiness measures.
