Capita and Emergency Services Conduct Joint Training Exercise for RAF Assets
What happened
Emergency responders from the UK and allied nations participated in a complex emergency exercise in Gloucestershire on Thursday. The exercise, held at The Fire Service College, included ultra-realistic structures such as a derailed train carriage and aircraft training frames. Hume Jones, managing director for critical services at Capita, noted that civil emergency services and defense partners must train together as the threat landscape evolves.
