Accident at Southport Fire
Station
A sensor problem is
thought to have coursed a Fire Engine to colliding with a roller
shutter door, at the brand new Southport Community Fire Station
that has was only opened in October 2014! We have been told that
the crew at the time were responding to a 999 call when the
accident happened. The new station is 1 of 7 new stations that
included Formby Community Fire Station and Bootle and Netherton
Community Fire Station, that all use the same type of doors. The
Stations are all part of a Private Finance Initiative (PFI)
project, which once finished, will see a total of 16 new fire
stations being built. This building project is in collaboration
between Merseyside Fire and Rescue Services and Cumbria and
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Services. When we got to the station,
workers had started to fix the door, on one of its 6 fast
response vehicle bays, that it shares with the North West
Ambulance Service. we understand that the door problem is being
looked into. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Services has only
confirmed to us that a:- "collision with a door"
had taken place at the station.
