Fire Brigade Accused Of Errors at Outbreak
REPORT SAYS, "LACK
OF LEADERSHIP,
MEN UNTRAINED"
Hendon Council, at a special meeting last month, accepted the report of the public inquiry into the fire at Temple Gardens, Golders Green, on March 24, in which Jennifer Susan Bramall, aged nine, lost her life..
Mr. C. M. Knowles, the Commissioner (with Lieut.- Colonel G. Symonds, fire assessor to the Home Office) put these conclusions to his report.
UX
Firemen, While the men In- dividually did their best, an a body they were Insufficiently trained, and left to too great an tent to their own resources. Station-Offeer Stimpson: By reason of the absence of the superintendent during the criticnt period of the fire he found him- self in a position where he wan called upon to carry a burden of responsibility beyond his powers. Superintendent Bearis: When La late stage of the are he
arrived he seems to have grasped the situation at once, and to have inken the steps necessary to re- medy the errors that had already been innde, To his absence must be ascribed the inck of lendership at the fire.
"But he should not be blamed for his late arrival, for he was not then, and for considerable time had not been, physically in
1 state to take active com- mand of serious fire."
ADVICE TO COUNCIL
Mr. Knowles remarks that "unless the committee (of the Council) interests itself in the affairs of the brigade to the extent of satisfying itself that the best and most modern fire brigade practice has been ut least considered by its offeers, and su tar as desirable adopted in its own brigade, it is diflcult to see what useful purpose it serves."

be based at Normanton.
"I feel bound to suggest to the Council," he anys, "that it is a matter for their very serious consideration whether their brigade's present standards of training and leadership can be regarded ns competent, to deal effectively with fires of any serious magnitude."
Concerning allegations of delay on the part of the fire brigade in arriv ing at the fire, the repert states that the first engine, which went to a wrong address, was delayed three minutes, and that this delay
Was "bound to have unfortunate conse quences, and that its early, arrival could have materially altered the situation for the better."
Dealing with the failure of the water supply, the report says: "This la the most disquieting of a series of unfortunate incidents." It adds that the Metropolitan Water Board was not to blame.
Irregular drills and inadequate In- siruction In the use of breathing apparatus are criticised,

"SHEER BUNGLING"
In describing an incident at the fire, the Commissioner anld: "This can only be described as an Instance of sheer bungling, resulting in a hose being out of action for a serious period.
"It is almost Incredible that a med- ley of civilians, police and firemen should have been left to deal with serious fire, in an area of a pro- fessional fire brigade."
Mr. Knowles paid tribute to the work of police officers. He mention- ed PC. Havard by name, and said that the officers, in circumstances of considerable danger to themselves, did what they could to rescue the little giri and gave weleonie help to the brigade.
"Responsibility for fallure to make best use of the resources at his dis- posal must rest with the offleer in control at the scene of the fire."
