Combating the crisis in Cumbria

The devastating flooding in Cumbria in late 2009 brought disruption and misery to thousands of local residents.

Force 3 rapidly mobilised setting up a hire depot in Kendal to supply restoration companies with specialist drying equipment to tackle the clean up effort.

As Lee Forshaw, Force 3 Technical Manager explains "Within 48 hours of the high water mark we had established a depot with over 1000 pieces of drying equipment available for hire. It was a huge team effort, but we were all committed to playing our part in the relief effort – even the snow couldn’t stop us!"

Force 3 envisage being on site in Cumbria till early Summer 2010.
