Manchester Fire Department under fire following Ariana Grande concert terror attack

A report into a terror attack on an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena has slammed the city's fire department - finding it 'played no meaningful role' in the two hours after the explosion that killed 22 people. The panel - commissioned by the Mayor of Greater Manchester - found police, venue staff and even the military were on the scene within minutes Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service - however - didn't respond for an hour and a half. The report blamed the delayed reaction on 'poor communication and poor procedures' and said the fire service was 'effectively outside the loop'. AAP
