Police, fire and other 999 crews will be locking down the River Clyde in Glasgow tomorrow.
In response to the 'critical need for coordinated emergency preparedness and response', a multi-agency training exercise is taking place on Crown Street, Albert Bridge and the River Clyde.
The exercise, which will take place from around 8am until midday, will be led by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) and will feature more than 100 personnel from Police Scotland, Scottish Ambulance Service, HM Coastguard, Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and the Glasgow Humane Society.
Medical students from the University of Glasgow School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Nursing will also be taking part as they are set to role play live casualties.
Road closures will be in place to facilitate the exercise and drivers are being warned to allow additional travel time
