I've heard the 10 tech rescue units and six hazmat too, apprently its because the 6 new units are expendable and just goffers for the CBRN team,so its not worth givivng them any skills :lol: The brigade are also looking at Tech rescue stations!

As far as I know, Milwall is staying with a water attribute

Millwall acquire water/Boat Rescue becuase they have all the docks etc.

Just like Croydon then! With the Usart skills and line rescue you would have thought it would have been better to have dropped the boat bit. How can the crews at Croydon keep up with all the training?
Surely Chelsea next to the Thames would be a good place for an FRU with boat? It’s just a thought.

I don't think that the Thames is the problem, specially since this lot pitched up.

Was thinking of more when the Thames bursts its banks, which it has done many times before, rather than the rescue of people from the thames its self, we have the RNLI to do that.

But isn't that more likely to be a problem, or certainly a worse problem, upstream, surely, Surbiton or Twickenham would be better placed.
