Friday 7th<\/sup> October was not a normal day at the Crich Tramway Village \u2013 the museum remained closed as it does on most Fridays throughout the season but it was still a hive of activity as it was used for an Emergency Incident Exercise which saw the Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service re-enact potential scenarios in case the worst ever happens in the future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Staff and volunteers from the Crich Tramway Village were joined by emergency response teams from the Derbyshire Fire & Rescue service \u2013 from Alfreton, Bolsover, Crich and Ripley.<\/p>\n

Two re-enactments took place on the day. The first involved Glasgow 1068 (making a rare appearance on the mainline having not run in service since 2016) with it \u201ccolliding\u201d with a car on the track. There were several \u201ccasualties\u201d on board the tram and the driver of the car also had to be \u201ccut\u201d from her vehicle.<\/p>\n

A second scenario took place in the Exhibition Hall where a visitor was said to have collapsed and required emergency attention, including the use of defibrillator. Firefighter Martin McShane, who is trauma trained, assisted Crich Tramway Village First Aider, Jo Smith, in performing life-saving treatment.<\/p>\n

Dr Mike Galer, General Manager at the Crich Tramway Village, said: \u201cToday\u2019s emergency training exercise has enabled us to enhance our emergency procedures and communication and we are pleased to support the teams from Derbyshire Fire and Rescue with their training.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graeme Wigglesworth, Engineering Manager at Crich Tramway Village, added: \u201cToday\u2019s emergency training exercise took considerable planning and liaison with our staff, volunteers and Derbyshire Fire and Rescue, and we can all learn from the exercise and consolidate our practices and communication.\u201d<\/p>\n
