Saving Lives and Injury Through Training Videos, Hampshire Fire & Rescue Service

In late 2012 we were commissioned by Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service to create a video training package to accompany the final report on the Shirley Towers Fatal Fire. One training video was to be aimed at Operational Management and the other at Fire Fighters and Incident Commanders. The report and two training videos were to be issued to all UK Fire and Rescue Services as part of HFRS's commitment to share learning widely.

The project involved us working closely with the dedicated Accident and Investigations Team and reviewing the Interim Report and all available CCTV, images and other materials. From this we were able to decide how best to structure and design the two videos. We worked closely with HFRS staff to design and develop the interactive lessons and create resource materials that a trainer could use in the classroom where required for training Fire Fighters and Incident Commanders. We used a mix of re-construction, computer graphics, still and CCTV images as well as interviews across the two training videos.

The training DVDs are now being issued with the Final Report to all UK Fire and Rescue Services and other organisations with a responsibility for fire safety and response.
