Flood & Water Rescue

Our team is made up of over 20 trained Swift Water & Flood Rescue Technicians. We operate two Inshore Rescue Boats and carry a range of technical rescue equipment from Rescue Sleds to Technical Rope packs which allow us to respond to incidents in a range of environments and settings. We can respond to local flooding, national flooding and other water rescue emergencies both inshore and on the coast.

Terrestrial search & rescue

Our Rescue Technicians are trained and equipped to deploy to Missing Person Searches both around water and on lowland terrain. Our team carry a range of equipment which allows each individual to deploy on a search for up to 12 hours at a time without needing a resupply. Our boats and 4x4 vehicles are equipped and may also be deployed on searches.

Event medical & water safety cover

We are able to provide medical and water safety cover to a range of events. A number of our Rescue Technicians have additional qualifications which allows us to provide medical and first aid cover to small/medium sized events, as well as water rescue and water safety cover. We are also able to work alongside other SLSGB teams to cover larger events. Our cover can also include the use of our Inshore Rescue Boats.
