Paying tribute to all involved with the Falmouth Docks Fire

On Friday I visited the Falmouth Rest Centre at Emmanuel Baptist Church, Falmouth Fire Station and Falmouth Hotel to learn about the events of the day and thank all those involved. 

I was reassured that the plans to respond to major incidents developed by the Fire Service, Police, docks staff as well as Cornwall Council staff worked so well on the day. 

I pay tribute to all those involved who helped with the evacuation of students and residents, including the staff of the University as well as the great community spirit demonstrated by the management and staff at The Duchy and The Falmouth hotels.  It was a great team effort with everyone pulling together to help all those affected.
