As the Fire Marshal assigned to provide safety cover for the Top 12 run-off I feel only able to comment on the one item.
I agree a better location may be found (perhaps the assembly area?) but it was the same area as last year. Secondly the teams perhaps could have been better briefed on where and how. Thirdly, and far far more importantly the crews should come prepared with a proper re-fuelling strategy. All but one came reasonably prepared (those who didn't will know who they are) but to turn up with a system that required at least 2 individuals, one not properly dressed for the occasion and with a rig that spilt quite an amount of fuel (fortunately petrol) into a hot engine bay??... get that fixed guys, please, you may not be so fortunate another time.
Overall though I thought the day went well and am pleased to hear most competitors enjoyed themselves. Here's to the next time....
