Firefighters will discuss how they handled this summer’s flooding during a meeting on Friday.
Members of the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority community safety committee will hear about the service’s response to severe weather and flooding in June and July, as well as other flooding incidents up to the end of September.
A report points out there has been “significant investment” in dealing with water rescues. It adds that between June 1 and September 30, firefighters attended 138 flood-related incidents and rescued 17 people.
