Fire and rescue service played ‘no meaningful role’ in Manchester attack aftermath

A report has found Manchester's fire service took more than two hours to respond to the bomb attack on the city's arena on 22 May 2017. An independent panel report into the bombing, which killed 22 people and injured more than 100, said Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service 'played no meaningful role' in the two hours after the explosion. Despite police, arena staff and even the military arriving on the scene within minutes, the fire service did not respond until about 90 minutes later.
