North East Search And Rescue Volunteers Required!

(1/7) > >>

Hi Everyone,

The members of the North East Section Discovery Owners club, in conjunction with the North East Ambulance Service are setting up a search and rescue and medical emergency assistance group using 4x4 vehicles which will go live on 1st December 2005. This will be a 365 day a year 24 hours a day service.

This group is to assist with off road rescues and emergency situations whereby ordinary road ambulances cannot for whatever reason gain access. It could be because of snow, flood, landslide etc. It could also be because conventional vehicles cannot traverse the terrain to get to the site of an incident, say beside a river, up a hill etc.

We urgently need people in the North East of England, from Yorkshire to the Scottish Borders and from Carlisle to the East Coast who own a road legal 4x4 that can spare some of their time to this worthy cause. To become a member please in the first instance contact me via email on dogunit@nefi.co.uk

We have a meeting of this group in Durham on Wednesday 19th October 2005 at 8pm. If you are interested and can spare some of your time email me with your name and contact telephone number and I will give you details of how to join this worthwhile group. Help us put something back into our community and stop the anti's in their tracks.

I thank you all in advance for your time.

how far north would you be looking at covering?


BTW good luck with this as i thought it would be good to have something like this set up up here,

better not volunteer just yet as im busy enough doin the rally recovery etc as it is

firedoghandler:
We would be covering as far north as the Scottish Borders. Possibly beyond if the need arose but we are controlled by the North East Ambulance Service.
