Firefighters and Oxfordshire County Council colleagues are today mourning the loss of two firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty while dealing with a major incident in Bicester on the evening of Thursday, 15 May.

Absolutely brilliant night listening to the life of @billingham229b at @PrincesHall in #Aldershot. Really inspiring to learn of the continued work being undertaking post Haiti earthquake by his charity @deux_mains

3/3 the last exercise was to locate and recover a casualty from the engine room and build a recovery system to the deck of the ship. @HantsIOW_fire

2/3 the team had to identify the full risks on board and build an operational plan that would enable the safe recovery of casualties in direct/difficult environments. @HantsIOW_fire

1/3 Today’s Wednesday training was surrounding our confined-space capability. We had the honour of using SS @Shieldhall which is part of the national historic fleet. 2 exercises were conducted within the ships ballast tanks & engine gantry.

Some of the team have joined the wider @UK_ISAR_TEAM for an exercise in Bristol focusing on an international flood capability team. Hampshire & IOW provide a ‘base of operations’ team. @HantsIOW_fire

The adverse effects of urban disasters - collapse of buildings, industrial & road accidents can be reduced with adequate skills in #SearchAndRescue operations. The @UK_ISAR_TEAM led training in collaboration w/ @NDMU_Kenya will enhance 🇰🇪's urban disaster response capabilities.

The regulator the FCA has today announced its intent to move to an industry-wide mass redress scheme for car finance claims, ie you’ll be paid automatically. Here’s how it’ll work and what we know so far…

Finally, the last casualty was located on the other side of a debris filled walkway where the team used the final rescue as a medical drill being assessed by a in-service IEC (Immediate Emergency Care) instructor.@HantsIOW_fire

After another breach the team worked they way through a corridor where they were faced with a vertical tunnel. A tripod was constructed to allow access for the team.@HantsIOW_fire

Once through the second breach, a further casualty was located and removed from incident.@HantsIOW_fire

Entry was made where the 1st casualty was located and removed. The team then had to continue with a second breach point required. @HantsIOW_fire

After a 360-assessment was made in conjunction with an operational plan, the team began by ‘Breaking & Breeching’ a point of entry. @HantsIOW_fire

Busy week for the team. A few calls for the TL’s, and a team exercise conducted on Wednesday. Thank you @Basingstoke_01 for accommodating us! The scenario was a building collapse of a complex structure where we first tested our mobilisation of assets and a Tac-Ad. @HantsIOW_fire
