Planned recovery exercise at Prince Charles Hospital

On Sunday July 3, South Wales Fire and Rescue service will be carrying out a recovery exercise on one of the cranes at Prince Charles Hospital, Merthyr.

This is a routine exercise to ensure the safety of crane operators working on the site. The exercise will be carried out on one of the cranes close to the entrance of the hospital, but we have been reassured that this will have no impact on access to the building.

Fire and rescue team members are currently scheduled to be on site with emergency vehicles and equipment from 11am until 2pm, however this is subject to change or may run over the time indicated.  Please do not be alarmed if you see fire and rescue vehicles on site during this period.
