Hide AdAdam Bramley, from Turbine Surface Techonologies Ltd, said “The whole exercise was very eye opening in terms of everything Notts Fire go through when attending an incident.
“Myself and the guys from TSTL have taken a lot away from it which will help us improve our evacuation procedure and ensure we have all the necessary information ready for you in the event of a real incident.”
A fire service spokesman said: “Earlier this week two crews from Ashfield, one from Blidworth, one from Stockhill, and the Environmental Protection Unit invited staff from Turbine Surface Technologies to take part in a hazardous material exercise.
“TSTL were able to view our procedures during an incident and were invited to ask questions.”
