abstract: Quick reactions: A&E staff at Fairfield General Hospital, Bury, were among the latest to undergo decontamination training when they tested their response to a serious chemical incident last month. The event centred on the arrival of 12 'casualties' from a simulated road traffic accident involving a chemical tanker. A&E sisters Caroline Parkinson (left) and Jane Stanners (right) and 'casualty' Louise Kimberley were among those who took part. Ms Stanners said: 'It did us the world of good. It has made everybody a lot more aware of what could happen in a real event.'
