Firemen hold terror trainingÂ

Mayor of Eastleigh Bruce Tennent  piloted the citizenAID course. The course was delivered by the airport's firefighters as part of the EchoFour Training Centre.

The mayor and a number of companies, such as Carnival UK and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, were given training on how to manage a terrorist attack situation and how to help injured people before the emergency services arrive.

Cllr Tennent said: '˜You really hope that you won't have to be in a situation where you need it but, if you do, the experience is invaluable.' 

Peter Hart, EchoFour training manager, said: '˜CitizenAID develops skills that you will hopefully never need but the programme allows you to be prepared and not scared so you could help save a life.'
