New Dimensions: The New Dimension project supplies equipment and procedures to enhance the capability of the fire and rescue service to respond to a range of incidents and is one of three projects under Communities and Local Government's Fire and Resilience Programme. The New Dimension project was established following the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre. It provides the fire and rescue service with equipment, procedures and training to respond to a range of threats including: (1) Terrorist CBRN threats; (2) Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear incidents; (3) Industrial and domestic accidents; (4) Chemical spills and collapsed buildings; (5) Natural disasters; (6) Floods and earthquakes; (7) Government investing in the fire and rescue service. The government has invested considerable resources to deliver new equipment, training and procedures to the fire and rescue service (FRS) to enhance national capabilities. To date over £200m along with additional on-going revenue costs has been invested. On 28 July 2008 Communities and Local Government announced future funding amounting to £80m over the next three years to enable the FRS to continue to deliver New Dimension capability, along with confirmation of a 16 year maintenance contract worth £100m, for the New Dimension equipment.
