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!!

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

We are delighted to have been accepted on the view ranger VSAR programme. This provides team members with GPS tracking on OS maps on their phones.

We get online access to full-country mapping of our operating area. Routes can be planned on a PC via the my.viewranger site and then synchronised  down to team mobile devices.

Recorded GPS tracks can be synchronised from team mobile devices to the my.viewranger website, where we can view them over premium map charts.  

Tracks can be printed on mapping and can be exported as GPX files - useful for inclusion in reports, etc.

LASAR Incident Van

25/2/2018

 
We now have a crew van which can also double up as an incident control unit when we are training with or supporting other services. This was originally a police incident control vehicle but more recently belonged to Cheshire Search and Rescue. It can carry 6 crew and equipment, plus it has tables, desks, heaters and facilities to work from, and a slide out awning on one side which always helps when its raining!!

It has been loaned to us for now, but we do have an option to buy it for £3,500. So we are looking for donations towards the purchase. If you feel you could help please see our donations page.



Team Kitted with PFD's

7/1/2018

We are delighted to be able to kit each of our team members out with a water rescue PFD (personal flotation device or lifejacket) courtesy of AAA Logistics Ltd.  The PFDs are essential for work in and around water which as a flood rescue team is a what we do! These have been purchased from Northern Diver Specialist rescue Equipment suppliers based in Appley Bridge near Wigan.
