Emergency Services held a training exercise at Beverley Minster that saw them lower a ‘casualty’ from the void in the roof.
Members of the public were invited to watch the as the action unfolded inside one of Beverley’s historic land marks.
A joint exercise led by Humberside Fire and Rescue Service was held to simulate what would happen if something unfortunate was to happen to someone in the roof of Beverley Minster.
Crews worked together alongside HART a group of specially-trained personnel who are equipped to safely locate, stabilise, treat and rescue casualties from dangerous environments.
Liam Plunkett from Humberside Fire and Rescue said:
“Exercises like this gives crews a realistic environment to practise the skills and techniques required to conduct a rescue from heights. It also provides an opportunity to demonstrate to the public the other capabilities we have outside of firefighting.”
