(BBC) A delay in fire crews getting to the scene of the Manchester Arena bombing was caused by a failure to pass on key information to officers, the inquiry into the attack has heard.
Sarah-Jane Wilson, head of North West Fire Control (NWFC), told the Manchester Arena inquiry her team was “responsible for significant failures.”
She said the communication failures were “not in any way excusable.”
Firefighters arrived at the scene more than two hours after the attack.
Officers were ordered to gather at a meeting point three miles from the arena as they awaited further details of the attack at 22:31 BST on 22 May 2017, which killed 22 people and injured hundreds more.
