Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service's first training exercise on board a ship has been hailed a success.
Crews from around the county were called to Wisbech Port on Wednesday evening (Oct 19) for a simulated fire in the engine room of a 3,000 tonne Russian ship, with casualties and persons overboard.
The Incident Command Unit from Huntingdon attended along with crews from Wisbech and Huntingdon. Crews from Dogsthorpe with specialist in-water training also attended, together with two crews from Outwell and West Walton in Norfolk.
Twenty-five firefighters had to locate and gain access to the ship’s engine room where the fire was located and carry out a search and rescue of all on-board casualties and extinguish all fires.
Dogsthorpe firefighters wearing drysuits used an inflatable boat to locate and rescue three casualties in the water, working alongside two crews from Fenland District Council’s Harbour Authority, who also had three members of staff shoreside, including Harbour Master Jamie Hemming and a representative from Fenland District Council’s Health and Safety Department.
Exercise Poseidon, as it was referred to throughout the exercise, saw dummies thrown into the water some distance from the ship, which was moored at the harbour in Nene Parade, close to the town centre.
Hazards faced by the crews included narrow passageways, trip hazards with ropes and a potential to fall in the water.
On-board operations took place in dark, narrow passageways with one room filled with smoke. Firefighters searching for bodies in the River Nene worked in night-time conditions.
Although Wisbech firefighters have attended a fire on board a ship before, it was over the border in Norfolk.
Wednesday night’s Exercise Poseidon, however, was Cambridgeshire’s first in-county training exercise on board a ship.
Watch Commander Phil Pilbeam, from Wisbech Station, spent eight weeks planning the event with Crew Commander Tim Carr.
“I’m really pleased with how things went. It all went really smoothly.”
He said the exercise provided a unique opportunity for firefighters to train on board a ship.
"Firefighters in Cambridgeshire are well trained and knowledgeable in house fires, factory fires and Road Traffic Collisions etc. However, a ship fire is unique. It's in a confined space, it's made of metal and it's a lot hotter because it's a metal container.
"Ships have an unfamiliar layout to crews. They can be very complex in their layout and this was a unique opportunity for all the crews to attend and to put these different skills into practice."
WC Pilbeam said the exercise had raised some good learning points.
“The inflatable boat from Dogsthorpe was not powerful enough for a tidal area. It was fine going with the tide but not against it. It had to be towed by the two boats from the Harbour Authority.
“Also, the crew set up lots of hose reels to help us out but we couldn’t use them because the couplings didn’t fit ours so we will be talking to the Harbour Master and our Operational Support Group to bring in some specialist hose reels for the harbour.”
He said communication with the nine-strong Russian crew on board the ship, had proved challenging.
“There were definitely language barriers that were an issue. We would ask what we wanted to get across and they would try and put across what they wanted. There were lots of hand signals and lots of pointing and gesturing.”
Despite some of the difficulties faced, he said the whole exercise, from time of call-out to when the crews returned to their stations, took three hours, which was what he had expected.
Harbour Master Jamie Hemming, of Fenland District Council, said with about forty cargo ships arriving at Wisbech Port each year there was a ‘real chance’ of a fire on board a ship so training exercises like this were really helpful.
“There’s a real chance of fire on board a ship. We are the only Port in Cambridgeshire so for Wisbech it is a serious scenario so from that point of view it was good to see the guys working on something a little bit out of their comfort zone.
“The joint exercise went extremely well and it was reassuring for us as a Harbour Authority to see the whole thing co-ordinated in such a professional and timely manner. It will stand us all in good stead should a similar real incident occur.”
Jamie said the Harbour Authority was keen to see more training exercises on board ships in the future.
“I would like to see another training exercise on board a ship at least once or twice a year as it’s a very proactive approach.”
The majority of boats coming into Wisbech arrive from the Baltics carrying timber and leave with scrap metal for Spain.

The first time I went to the gym was on Saturday the 7th of April. We worked my legs and core. My legs were sore the next day. I spent about 30 minutes doing cardio also.
On April 9th, I went to the gym and I worked on my cardio for about 30 minutes.
On April 11th, I went to the gym and worked on my arms. The exercises I did was shoulder press, Arnold press, and dips. I did three sets of each. I did ten reps with the with ten pound free weights for the Arnold press. Twenty reps of dips. Twenty reps with five pounds on shoulder press. I also did the fun ropes for three sets a minute each.
This is hard work! On the third set of shoulder presses, my body was starting to fatigue around rep 13. I wanted to give up but I couldn't. I pushed through the pain so I can get my drink of water. After the set I had this overwhelming rush of emotion. I almost broke down crying because I finished the set with a sense of accomplishment. After the workout I did 25 minutes of cardio.
It's funny, when I go to the gym I get nervous but when I'm there, I'm fine. When my trainer comes gets me for my work out, I feel a little nervous but I am fine after awhile. He kicks my butt! In the end it's all worth it. I get a high when I'm done working out and it's the best feeling.
There are no spectacular bridges nearby so ..... that was out. Then I remembered from physical therapy for my back that one of the exercises was called the "bridge". So not only did I relearn how to use my self-timer on my D90, but I got a good back stretch out of today's daily challenge.
A win/win thanks to Our Daily Challenge Group 2 "BRIDGE"

In September 2016, the Regional Security Office (RSO) at the U.S. Embassy Muscat in Oman paired with U.S. Marines, the U.S. Navy, and the Royal Oman Police (ROP) to conduct the first full-scale non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) training exercise at an active embassy.
During an actual NEO, the Departments of Defense and State assist in evacuating U.S. citizens and nationals, and designated persons, whose lives are in danger.
I started lifting these more often when I found this thing called www.fitocracy.com which is like an RPG for working out. You get quests and level up and everything. Let me know if you want an invite.

Thousands of National Guard Citizen Soldiers and -Airmen from all over the country to participate in military exercises at Volk Field and Fort McCoy, Wisc., The annual ‘Patriot Exercise’ brings in coalition forces from as far away as the Netherlands for combat training and a homeland defense scenario. The exercise started July 12, 2009, and is set to end July 27.
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.
