There have also been reports that there was a Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) also in attendance.
A HART team is comprised of specially recruited personnel who are trained and equipped to provide the ambulance response to high-risk and complex emergency situations.
HART teams work alongside the police and fire and rescue services within what is known as the ‘inner cordon’ (or ‘hot zone’) of a major incident. The job of the HART teams is to triage and treat casualties and to help save lives in very difficult circumstances.
They are also there to look after other emergency personnel who may become injured whilst attending these difficult and challenging incidents.
