Provision for the supply of Training Manikins

TWFRA (‘the Authority’) is the publicly accountable body that oversees the policy and service delivery of Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (‘the Service’) on behalf of the community. The Service successfully leads the operational delivery of fire and rescue services such as public protection, fire and other emergency prevention, operational response and resilience. Our stations, staff and appliances are strategically placed across Tyne and Wear to ensure efficient and effective response to fires and other emergencies. Appliances work across station areas and can be mobilised whilst away from their home station. We also have robust arrangements with neighbouring services to enable additional support during major emergencies.

TWFRS provide exceptional service to the communities they serve. To maintain this high standard, TWFRS must train their frontline firefighters using realistic training scenarios. A crucial aspect of this training involves rescuing casualties, having realistic training manikin provision is essential for accurately recreating these scenarios.
