On Tuesday 21st June 2022, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service hosted Exercise Mitchell, a large-scale training exercise at their Bury Training and Safety Centre.
The exercise focused on testing the multi-agency operational response to a CBRNE incident by working with partners and volunteers.
Volunteers were on hand to play the part of casualties following a chemical incident on a tram. Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), Transport for Greater Manchester (TFfG) and other partners responded to the incident.
The exercise commenced with joint working between emergency service control rooms in the early stages of the incident, with several calls being made on 999 calls reporting an incident had occurred on the tram.
It took the form of a multi-agency response to the incident in the morning, working with GMP and NWAS. Later in the afternoon crews also set up and tested the Mass Decontamination Unit, helping volunteers through the process.
This training helps to reinforce understanding of different agencies roles and responsibilities during the response to such an incident and validate learning from the response to previous Major Incidents in Greater Manchester. The exercise also reinforced JESIP principles and procedures to help embed multi-agency working amongst Greater Manchester and regional partners.
Further elements of the exercise will take place later in the year, focusing on the Strategic Coordinating Group (SCG) and Tactical Coordinating Group (TCG) elements of a Major Incident.
The overall exercise helped to test the multi-agency response at the Strategic, Tactical and Operational levels including looking at the operational response, Local Resilience Forum procedures and interoperability between organisations.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

CAP Barbell RB-60T Regular Solid 5-ft Threaded Weight, unmodified 14.4 LBS
Center of mass is now 39" from the handle end, note the balance point
Handle and spacer are prototypes, lathe turned, from scraps of 4 by 4 (not Fir, maybe Spruce?). Maybe hardwood, with more precision, after a few weeks of use. Increasing the handle diameter definitely challenges grip strength. Handle should also be double nutted.
Weights (2) 2.5, (1) 1.25 (1) .4 LB homemade micro weight. Plenty of room left for increase. Was adding a little each week, to the shorter macebell, changing to the longer barbell took two weeks to get back to the same overall weight.
Throughout Beijing, we saw playground-style exercise equipment squeezed into the open spaces; I don't think we ever saw playground equipment for kids. This elliptical was a little jerky, but not too bad.

Sergeant (Sgt) Mark Meyer, a loadmaster on the CC-130J Hercules tail number 130611, checking out the port window during exercise MOUNTAIN STAR.
Exercise MOUNTAIN STAR was conducted to maintain and develop the capabilities of military personnel while conducting modern air expeditionary operations. Military personnel participated a simulated humanitarian mission while effectively operating and sustaining a deployed operating base. The exercise was also designed to train military personnel in the non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) of civilians from another country during a deteriorating security situation. Military personnel from 436 Transport Squadron, 8 Wing Trenton, Ont., and the Royal 22e Regiment participated in the exercise held at 8 Wing’s Mountain View training area.
436 Sqn is typically tasked with carrying personnel and materiel on a global response basis and must be prepared to deliver 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Tactical flying is an equally important part of any 436 Sqn mission. The skills associated with aerial delivery of troops and equipment by parachute or delivery of humanitarian aid to isolated and austere locations are increasingly sought after as part of Canada's contribution to operations around the world.

Last weekend there were about 8 grouped around the outside of the bandstand being put through their paces by someone.
A Viist to Skagen, 22 Aug 1984
In 1984, my USAF reserve unit sent several of us to Karup, Denmark to support a NATO exercise. We had a lot of time off because EVERYONE wanted to go to Denmark and we had 200-300% coverage for most jobs.
21 Aug would have been a Tuesday and I must have had to "work" (sit around the dorm and chow hall area in case something broke) that day and did not get out and about.
On 22 August, I went to the northern tip of Jutland at Skagen, a fishing and tourist town that was reached via the Skagensbanen, a private railway that connected DSB's northern terminal at Frederikshavn with Skagen. I decided to try to ride all 5 of Jutland's private railways on my visit and after the Odderbanen on 20 Aug, the Skagensbanen was my next goal.
The Skagensbanen is a 40 km line that was originally built as narrow gauge in 1890 and converted to standard in 1924. It is still very much alive and well as part of the Nordjyske Jernbaner and now uses Siemens Desiro railcars for its services.
Skagen turned out to be quite photogenic and I spent some time wandering around town in addition to seeing what I could of the SB's facilities. SB used the Ym and Ys railcars that were the standard Danish private lines at the time, but they had some older equipment stashed on side tracks.
The Ys set that I took south back to Frederikshavn had a boxcar behind the railcars, a mixed train.
After looked around Frederikshavn a bit, my train back home was an MZ one coach and a mail car. I noted the train as the 1916 to Arhus, where, I presume, the mail car would have been added to another train en route to Copenhagen. The timetable says this was train 878, for those keeping score at home.
The DSB line to Frederikshavn goes north to Hjorring then due east to Frederikshavn. At Hjorring, the Hirsthallsbanen goes north the 16 km to Hirtshals on the coast. For whatever reason, I did not try to do both the Hirtshals and Skaen lines this trip....perhaps a late start in the morning would not have allowed me time for both.
My trip to and from was probably bus Karup-Viborg, local MR railcar train Viborg-La, MZ hauled train Langa-Frederikshavn and SB to and from Skagen, and then back to Karup via the same route.

The major incident capabilities of West Midlands Fire Service were put to the test.
The emergency planning exercise – codenamed Morpheus – saw 15 fire engines travelling in convoy from Birmingham to the National Fire Service College at Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire.
A total of 110 staff took part in the training.
Adrian Baldock, Station Cmdr, said: “The exercise proved to be an excellent test of our staff and procedures for dealing with major incidents... It is difficult to simulate the “real thing” .
“The complete simulation involved a major breathing apparatus search and rescue exercise at the Fire College Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire. The day also included special “convoy training”.
Spent a fabulous weekend with Kiki and Fritz at Rooibos Cottage, Cedar Peak in the Cedarberg. This place is truly magical, and just a stone's throw from Rockhaven, another favorite hideaway of mine. Here you get an awesome, private, newly renovated farm house to yourself, far away from civilisation, a huge dam to swim in, rock garden and a river walk with big pools etc. Nights are crystal clear and magical, everything you'd expect from this area.
