More than 30 firefighters from six stations together with west Norfolk students collaborated for a large-scale exercise in King's Lynn.

This dynamic training environment saw Public Protective Services (PPS) students assume roles of "casualties" to be rescued and evaluated - adding to the realism of the exercise at the College of West Anglia's Tower Block.

The event featured two specialised exercises, simulating real-life rescue operations.

The firefighters showcased their response skills and teamwork under emergency conditions while the students gained first-hand experience in emergency response procedures.

Stefan Rider, area manager for Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service, said: “It is important for us to be able to exercise our procedures in buildings such as this, as it’s important that we practice in realistic environments with volunteers helping us by playing the part of residents or those who need to be rescued."

Aaron Nichol, operations and maintenance manager, added: I'd like to personally thank Property Services staff and Public Protective Services students, as well as all those who helped."
