Civil Defence practices saving national treasures

Civil defence volunteers have been practicing how to save the Island's historical treasures in the event of a disaster.

As well as emergency planning and response, the team helps Manx National Heritage salvage its operations if its sites are damaged by fire, flood or collapse.

They've been training how to carry items safely and record them - as well as finding out which items in the Island's national collection should be saved first.

On Facebook, Civil Defence Isle of Man says it has now visited all MNH including Castle Rushen, Cregneash, the Grove Museum and the House of Manannan.
