Tarleton’s crew were recently involved in a training exercise in Blackpool, specifically focussed on Road Traffic Collisions (RTC). We were joined by crews from Hornby Fire Station, Padiham Fire Station, South Shore Fire Station, and Blackpool Fire Station. 🚒
This area exercise was organised to provide an opportunity for our crew to demonstrate their knowledge on how to respond to an RTC. It also allowed the crew to get valuable practice handling tools, stabilising vehicles, casualty care, and exercising incident command skills. 🚗
The simulation required crews to work together in unison to complete the task of rescuing the casualties safely and effectively, whilst also maintaining a safe working environment. 🤝
Winter weather presents significant hazards that make road safety an essential priority. Road users must anticipate these conditions to minimise the risks of such accidents taking place. Remember to check your tyres, leave sufficient space from the vehicle ahead, and slow down to suit the conditions (rain, fog, icy roads) ☔️🌨️
