Firefighter Ben Ryder, with 24 years at Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, showcased bravery during a major incident at Liverpool FC's victory parade. Upon learning of a vehicle strike, he rushed to the chaotic scene filled with injured individuals. Ryder, who had monitored the event from headquarters, emphasized the need for reassurance and organization amidst the pandemonium. His quick response and leadership were highlighted by police officials, underscoring the critical role of emergency services during crises.
It was chaotic. People were screaming, running scared. There were people injured on the floor, some walking wounded. So many people. It was very traumatic.
Our job at that point was to reassure people and make sure everyone is looked after, and then we could get a grip on the scene.
