Money needed for new live fire training facility

Sat, 02 May 2015


Plans are in place for a new state of the art training facility for firefighters on the Island.

The live fire training base would be housed at the rear of the Energy from Waste Plant and would be used to simulate real-life emergencies.

Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson told us more about the facility:
