Multi-pump exercise at Barrow FS last night. Crews confronted with a disused commercial property being used by squatters - limited access, complex layout and threats of violence towards BA Teams, all adding to the scenario.

Great to have Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue on station with us last night @Fire_Kendal. Opportunity to share capabilities, skills and experiences as we plan to run a number of exercises together this year 👍
