(BBC) All available firefighters should have been sent to the scene of the Manchester bombing sooner, an expert has told the inquiry into the atrocity.
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service has previously apologised after crews took more than two hours to reach the aftermath of the 2017 bombing.
Fire service expert Matthew Hall said a commander was not in place until 80 minutes after the explosion.
The initial deployment involved just 12 firefighters, the inquiry heard.
Twenty-two people died and hundreds more were injured when Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb in the arena’s foyer at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017.
