A new state-of-the-art training facility has been constructed in Tyne and Wear, which aims to help firefighters rescue casualties from collapsed buildings.
The Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) has completed construction of a network of modular chambers that are the first of their kind in the entire country.
The training aid sees a number of pods connected by 180ft of concrete pipework, that are then covered in rubble.
