Busy Day

Sunday, 30 August 2009 20:28 | | |

Today, we were planning to attend the St Dennis Gala Day to introduce ourselves to the residents of St Dennis, where our new base is situated. The weather wasn't brilliant but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the people of St Dennis and we were busy applying burns, bruises and cuts to the younger residents when we were called away to our 41st incident of the year - a missing woman at Kit Hill, nr Callington.

Not only did it cut short our Gala Day but those we had left back at the base, had to down paint brushes, get kitted up and make the long drive to Callington.

Luckily, thanks to a great turnout - 14 CSRT members, 5 SARDA dogs & a couple of navigators from our neighbours at DSRT - Tavistock, plus the sterlling work of D&C Police, the lady was found quickly and re-united with her anxious family.

We have given team members a day off for good behaviour and painting will resume after the Bank Holiday.

 

New Base

Wednesday, 26 August 2009 09:25 | | |

We can at last reveal that Cornwall Search & Rescue Team, after much searching, has finally secured a suitable premises to use as a base.

From 1st September, we will take up the lease on a premises in St Dennis in mid Cornwall. The site is the former Fire Station on Robartes Rd and we are currently in the process of cleaning, painting and equipping our new home.

Although operational for 6 years now, the team has never had a place to call home which has caused us significant difficulties in terms of kit storage and drying, indoor training and team communications.

We are delighted that we will now have somewhere to use as the focus for our activities and hope to become a part of community life in St Dennis. We will be attending this Sunday's St Dennis Village gala to meet our new neighbours and introduce ourselves.
