The ECHO was given the first look around a major new piece of equipment that could save lives
The horrors of the Grenfell Tower fire in London more than six years ago left images that have scarred our national psyche.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service was among those to look again at its capacity to deal with major incidents in terms of its risk methodology and associated capabilities. Fires in large buildings were identified as one of the six high impact incident types that MFRS should focus on. Before getting the new CPL, MFRS had in possession four other lifts with the capacity to reach 28 and 34m respectively. Chief Fire Officer Phil Garrigan joined the ECHO aboard the new lift to explain its capabilities.
It’s a tall and imposing vehicle, decked out in the traditional red livery we all identify with the fire service. Taking the ECHO up with Chief Garrigan was firefighter Jemma Hughes.
