General information

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRA) is the statutory fire and rescue service covering the county of Merseyside in north-west England. It covers a population of 1.4 million people across 249 square miles.

MFRA is also the Lead Authority on behalf of the UK Governments Home Office for the management, assurance, coordination and training of Fire & Rescue National Resilience. National Resilience work streams include the following capabilities: CBRN(e) Mass Decontamination and Detection Identification and Monitoring, High Volume Pumping,  Urban Search and Rescue, Enhanced Logistics Support, and command and control.

Role in the project

MFRA will serve as first responder participating member in the project, defining gaps and requirements for the technical solution in WP1. Furthermore, it will take part in testing the CURSOR SaR Kit components and system throughout the different development phases, evaluating it abilities and performance against the tested scenarios (WP6). MFRA will also contribute to the work on standartisation with respect to USaR missions (WP7).
