Triage kits to help emergency services at British Grand Prix

A ten-second triage kit will help a fire service 'be prepared' for any major incident at Silverstone.

A new ten-second triage kit will help a fire service "be prepared" for any major incident at the British Grand Prix.Nick Gayton, from the service, said although there were no large concert venues in the county, it hosted the Grand Prix - described as "the largest sporting event in the country", with 480,000 spectators at Silverstone.

Mr Gayton, the specialist operation response officer, said the kit was about "getting the right care to the right people"."We're not immune to having large numbers of people gathering in the area. "It's about us as an emergency service, working alongside the other emergency services, to be prepared should anything come around."Prior to this, fire crews would carry out a "form of triage", but due to them doing a full assessment on an individual, it would make treatment "a lot slower", said Mr Gayton.Xtract Stretchers that quickly move people away from areas of risk are also being added to the engines.
