This weeks team training was focussed on confined space. The scenario was a domestic block of flats following a gas explosion, so had to incorporate shoring the building both externally and internally as progress was made. @HantsIOW_fire

Yesterdays training was centred around the utilisation of our LOBO tower system. The task was to reach the 1st floor and then erect a way of removing a casualty supported. It was unconventional, but served its purpose. @HantsIOW_fire

@cardfactoryplc can you explain the logic in tying label ties together? Literally unusable as the knot is so tight you can’t undo it!! #stupidity #CustomerExperience

3/3 finally, a @Paratech_Inc Bi-pod was erected to move the block up and over the obstacle. Load cells ensured that impacts on anchor systems was monitored continuously, and the load keep as low to ground as a safety precaution. @HantsIOW_fire

2/3 the team built a track and reduced friction by incorporating roller tubes to enable ease of movement in conjunction with a TIRFOR winch system.@HantsIOW_fire

1/3 Todays training was ‘lifting & moving’. The task was to move the concrete block through the cylinder (without contact being made), the raise it up and over the trestle. @HantsIOW_fire

@airmauritius is it any wonder why you find yourself on the top 10 worst airlines! Travelling back to the uk today to find I’m not sat with my wife for a 12-hour flight. You chose to charge me £60 for the luxury of sitting with her! Disgraceful service!!!🤬

"How many homes can Rayner buy??" OMG this wins the internet 😂

@NoContextHumans 2-3-1

In which order should these cars go in?🤔🚘

@xraider @interesting_aIl Or true. @ColdCutSystems does exactly that. Can cut with water alone or an abrasive can be entrained to aid the cut

@interesting_aIl Water doesn't cut anything. It's the abrasive such as sand that is added to the water.

The power of a water jet cutter

@JamesMelville Unbelievable talent!!!

This is absolutely brilliant. ♥️ 🎶🎻

@TheCleanCarClub Track day! It baffles me how this goes unnoticed by drivers! You are literally driving a 2ton weapon with family and loved ones inside!! 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

What do we call this?
