(BBC) It would be no surprise if fire service failures after the Manchester Arena attack were to happen again, the Fire Brigades Union has told an inquiry.
Fire crews took two hours to get to the scene of the bomb on 22 May 2017.
Andy Dark, assistant general secretary of the union, also said he would be surprised if “performance in any such future incident were not to be worse.”
John Cooper QC, representing some of the bereaved families, said that would “cause profound anxiety” for them.
The inquiry has heard previously that police declared a “marauding terrorist firearms attack” amid erroneous reports of gunfire.
