Albert’s Shed Staff Trained in Water Rescue Techniques by Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service
Staff at Albert’s Shed have undergone rigorous training in throw-line techniques provided by Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service. The training is aimed at equipping nighttime economy workers with the skills needed to provide rescue support in water-related incidents. As well as staff from Albert’s Shed venues in Shrewsbury and Telford, representatives from the live music venue operator’s security provider, Trebla Security, also received training.
In recent years, there have been a number of fatalities connected to the River Severn in Shrewsbury. As a result, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service has been working closely with local businesses to provide training that can help prevent such tragedies.
