PLANS for dealing with an emergency were put under the spotlight yesterday.
An awareness day at Cleveland Fire Brigade's training centre in Grangetown, was aimed at increasing knowledge of procedures for dealing with chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear incidents on Teesside.
Two sessions were set up for representatives of all the agencies involved in emergency planning.
The event was part of the brigade's strategy to improve and increase awareness, and strengthen procedures.
Senior Divisional Officer Paul Joyce led presentations and demonstrations in liaising with police, ambulance and emergency planning agencies.
The sessions also included demonstrations of equipment and participants had the chance to ask questions.
Councillor John Jones, the chairman of Cleveland Fire Authority, said: "It is important all stakeholders are kept informed and involved, and aware of the role all agencies must play in the protection of the communities we serve."
