We were delighted to agree to the Devon and Somerset Fire Service request to hold a major fire and rescue exercise in one of our boarding houses this week. New House was chosen for the exercise and my thanks go to Ashley Marshfield and the New House boys for their cooperation. It was very good to meet two of the fire officers who are both married to members of our King's staff. All the crews were amazingly professional and their communication with the School was exemplary. The exercise itself was fascinating to watch and it certainly has helped to further improve our own fire response protocols. The exercise certainly made me think how very fortunate we are in the UK to have such outstanding fire, police and health professionals looking after us all.
