(BBC) Manchester’s firefighters will not be “paralysed” by indecision in the event of a terror attack, an inquiry into the bombing of the city’s arena has heard.
The Manchester Arena inquiry was told hesitancy after the bombing on 22 May 2017 led to Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service’s (GMFRS) officers losing confidence in commanders.
GMFRS’s David Russel said it was now in a “significantly better” position.
The chief fire officer said the service was now more “tolerant to mistakes.”
His comments were made at a hearing to monitor recommendations as a result of the public inquiry into the bombing, which has previously heard from Greater Manchester Police Deputy Chief Constable Terry Woods.
