After the devastating terrorist attacks in the US on September 11 2001, the UK reviewed its response and invested in the New Dimension Programme. 25 years on, that kit is being replaced with modern approaches that reflect modern risks. National Resilience is leading the way and in this session, you’ll learn about how the fire and rescue service fleet is changing to support a national response.
