Crews were "out of the loop" and took two hours to attend the scene of the blast, which killed 22 people last May. Mark Rowe, north-west secretary, said "the order never came down from the top", leaving firefighters "angry". The fire service's chief has apologised for the failures, highlighted in a report by Lord Kerslake. It looked into the emergency services' response after suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated a home-made device at 22:31 BST as 14,000 people streamed out of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May. Mr Rowe said: "Members were very angry that they weren't being deployed to the scene. WONDER WHY THEY WERE NEVER GIVEN THE ORDER!! [ link to www.bbc.co.uk] S.JJ.ISHERWOOD |

His parents are still wanting answers to why the fire brigade wasnt on the scene for 2 hours, and why to many questions are being left unanswered. Prayers are still being sent for martyn and the family. S.JJ.ISHERWOOD |
