Partners team up on transport exercise
Emergency services and government organisations practised responding to a large transport incident.
The event at Kendrew Barracks had leaders from:
- East Midlands Ambulance Service
- Leicestershire Police
- Leicestershire Fire and Rescue
- National Highways
The scenario was built around a crash on a simulated stretch of the M1. It featured an overturned coach and 10 cars. Volunteers and students from Loughborough College and Leicester College played casualties as part of the exercise.
The exercise tested how well the emergency services work together during a large incident. It also checked if each agency's plans work well.
Councils, emergency services, NHS and other partners work together to prepare for emergencies. They also help communities recover after emergencies.
