October TEAM Training

On 27th October 16 members of our team simulated an off-road deployment with the primary purpose of testing our new Sarstuff CAD ´Computer Assisted Dispatch´ system. Each Responder replied to a tasking sent via SMS and used a dedicated app to regularly receive details for the deployment and update their live status with our control team.

During the day we ran our basic off-road course. Whilst another group recce'd a new area to be used for future training exercises. Conditions were windy and chilly but we cracked on with our drills as planned and all went home feeling like they had picked up some new skills thanks to everyone who gave us their time on this day and a special thanks to the Landowner where without their generosity this day would not have been able to happen.

We are already running callouts for the NHS as we approach the Winter season. To support effectively we need more volunteers!! If you have a 4x4 we would love to have you on board. If not, please join our vital Controller team or help support our committee. See our FAQs Page for more information or contact us through facebook!

 Thanks to Helen Amos for giving up your Sunday to get some great photos of the group and their vehicles.
