(BBC) The decision not to send specialist fire crews to the Manchester Arena attack was wrong, an inquiry has heard.
The Manchester Arena inquiry heard senior firefighter Dean Nankivell was “incredibly angry” at the response to the bombing and suggested sending specialists to the scene on the night.
He had argued they were trained to work in the aftermath of terror attacks.
He also said the decision to muster fire crews three miles from the scene of the attack had been “bizarre.”
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more were injured when Salman Abedi detonated a home-made device in the arena’s City Room foyer at 22:31 BST on 22 May 2017.
