THE NATIONAL Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) explained the response from the NFCC and local fire and rescue services (FRSs) to the major incident in Whaley Bridge in late July and early August. Firefighters in Derbyshire had deployed high volume pumps (HVPs) at the 'major incident' in the Whaley Bridge area, following 'significant rainfall' resulting in the nearby Toddbrook reservoir overflowing and threatening the town with flooding. Around ten HVPs and firefighters from across the country had been deployed to assist, as part of the NFCC's National Resilience (NR) response.
