Some great examples from the ongoing HVP capability exercise. Always great to see the work in action and to see how well the capability operates. A number of fire and rescue services are taking part in the two-day exercise.
The HVP Capability are taking part in a national exercise today and tomorrow. Six HVPs are in attendance at the event in Warwickshire. The limited notice exercise is to ensure the capability can be mobilised within an hour. We will share more from the two-day exercise.
Today has seen the @HVPCapability in Warwickshire undertaking the final exercise as part of this year's assurance. Our thanks to @WarksFireRescue for hosting it and to all the attendees enthusiasm along with the @CandCCapability for their assistance.
