When a piece of equipment fails, it is vital to establish the cause of the failure to ensure that other similar equipment remains safe to use. This is doubly important if the failure results in injuries to fire service personnel.

The Bureau Veritas team draws on extensive experience of working alongside fire and rescue services at incidents to provide insight into how the fire service operates and the conditions to which their equipment is exposed.
