Manchester Arena inquiry: Fire call operators sorry for error after bomb

(BBC) Two fire service call operators have apologised for failing to tell a senior officer important information on the night of the Manchester Arena attack.

Joanne Haslam and Dean Casey were giving evidence to an inquiry into the 2017 bombing.

Ms Haslam admitted it was “an error” not to tell the station manager police and ambulances were at the scene but she thought he knew.

Fire crews were not mobilised for over two hours, the inquiry has heard.

The inquiry is looking at the circumstances surrounding the suicide bombing, which killed 22 people and injured hundreds more.
