On Friday 9th December 2011 The Fire Brigade are undertaking a fire and tunnel evacuation exercise at Wast Hill Tunnel. The tunnel will be closed during the exercise from 0900 to 1430. This exercise will test the Fire Brigades response to a fire on a stranded boat and will include the rescue of persons and the recovery of a vessel. Please note as part of the exercise smoke will be introduced into the tunnel and this will take time to clear. |
