(BBC) A senior fire officer has said he feels “anger, shame and total and utter embarrassment” at his service’s response to the Manchester Arena bomb.
Ben Levy told the Manchester Arena inquiry that Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) was a “laughing stock” after not helping for more than two hours after the attack.
He told the hearing that the service “should have done better.”
The inquiry has heard firefighters were kept back over safety concerns.
The inquiry is looking at the circumstances surrounding the 22 May 2017 attack, which killed 22 people and injured hundreds more.
