The fire and rescue service has been supplied with personal protective equipment including gas tight suits and powered respiratory protective suits (PRPS), which will enable firefighters to rescue and decontaminate people safely. The distribution of these suits is done on the basis of a risk assessment and has been allied with a programme of training to ensure a safe system of work.
