The Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service have just announced the opening of a brand new facility, which aims to give top tier training to firefighters in dealing with search and rescue missions in collapsed buildings.
The state of the art training resource was unveiled to the public earlier this week, after a £200,000 investment from the local authority to help better prepare officers on the job.
And as the service had spoke very highly of their 'impressive' new Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) facility - I was keen to understand exactly what it consisted of, and how it would help better fire services across Tyne and Wear.
