Training for Real-Life Emergencies!

On Tuesday, November 26th, Firefighters were hard at work at Pibwrlwyd Collage Carmarthen, training for Road Traffic Collisions.

Crews from Whitland, Tenby, Llandysul, and Carmarthen had to put their skills to the test, practicing procedures and applying lessons from real incidents in coordination with USAR Wales heavy lifting capability.

Station Liaison Officer Terry Jones emphasised the importance of using realistic locations to sharpen our emergency plans, saying:

"It’s crucial that we prepare for these scenarios to protect our community."



A huge thank you to Coleg Sir Gâr and the students for your support! Your cooperation helps us stay prepared.
