LASAR rescue team training at one of the hardest venues in the UK

Members of South Worcester , Devon , Cornwall , Lancashire and Wessex flood units are in north wales this weekend extending their training skills for flood boat practice. The teams will be pushed to the limits in one of the hardest training venues in the U.K. so that they are prepared for the worst and have knowledge on how the boat and crews can act to save lives. The day will consist of flood training putting the cross over skills to good practice.

And the votes are in!

New Rescue Boat

Persimmon Homes Community Champions Fund - Lancaster Area Search & Rescue

What’s in the box do you ask? IT’S A BOAT 😮
This boat from Northern Diver International was kindly donated by Persimmon Homes as part of their Community Champions Fund.
This will dramatically increase our capability as a flood rescue team, but also in our role as Coastguard and Police Support Team. This now makes us the only Flood Rescue Boat within Lancaster!

What shall we call it? That’s where you come in. At our open day tomorrow, you will have the chance to submit names! Entries will cost £1, which will solely be used to fund essential lifesaving equipment for the rescue boat. The lucky entry will be invited back to officially name the boat in traditional maritime fashion (Champagne on the front). GOOD LUCK!!

Loaned a Delivery Van

1/5/2018

The team would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Vantage Citroen Morecambe for loaning a van for the week to allow us to conduct deliveries for our charity shop (which is opening this Saturday!!)

Our operational team comprises solely of volunteers, and it is the kindness of our local community that allows us to continue to save lives and provide support to the statutory services.

Thank you again
