Retrain Wales’ firefighters on how to fight fires – report

Mr Stephens said: “We have serious concerns that the adverse safety events that can result from this are not being recognised, let alone being reported.”

He also found that many of the methods used by the fire service were “disjointed, contradictory and, in some instances, scientifically incorrect”.

He cited outdated tactics partially introduced 30 years ago that were not scientifically proven even then.

Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, Jayne Bryant, said: “There is no criticism in the report of frontline firefighters, who continue to do their utmost to protect life and property.

“The issue is about how firefighters are trained, equipped and the tactics employed to fight fires.”

South Wales Fire and Rescue said it wanted to reassure people that “the criticism is directed at tactics and procedures dictated by operational guidelines agreed at National Fire Chief Council”.
