    Emergency services across Dorset are holding training exercises today

Exercise commander, Richard Coleman said: “We run our annual Service Exercise in order to test a number of topical issues based upon known risks. Our Local Resilience Forum (LRF) partners, made up from local authorities, police and health for example, also support us and take part and see it as a valuable learning exercise in terms of partnership working.

We aim to test such factors as major incident co-ordination centre, strategic holding areas and flood rescue co-ordination, which reflects the needs we have, and may see in the future.”

    “What a load of twaddle.
    The Government still thinks we are stupid
    and is, no doubt, planning yet another
    false flag '7/7 incident' to try and fool us.
    Got to keep up the pretence of 'terror'.”
