Search & Rescue

  • Missing people or those in difficulties in the mountains
  • Missing Children and Vulnerable People

This is our main work, whether these are people who are lost in the mountains, in a forest, or who need medical care due to injury or illness. We also provide a lowland search service Our Area including towns and villages, for example in the case of a missing child or adult. We also help the other teams in the region.

Medical Care

  • Strong painkillers
  • Emergency Medication

As well as basic first aid, many of our members have studied for a specialist qualification to provide advanced first aid to our sickest patients. There is also an experienced paramedic on the team as well as three doctors.

Technical Rescue

Technical rope rescue is challenging work that involves significant training, specialist knowledge & equipment. We have a number of busy climbing areas within our patch including the Tremadog crags.

  • These may be climbers, or hikers who have become injured or ended up lost on steep ground.
  • We also sometimes rescue animals including dogs and sheep!
  • Road Accidents where reaching the casualties requires technical equipment

Swiftwater & Flood Rescue

  • Rescuing those in difficulties in our rivers
  • Floods

The team also provides a specialist water search & rescue team to respond to calls within our patch or across the region as required

Animals

  • Rescuing dogs who have become unwell or injured
  • Animals stuck on steep ground or who have fallen

Sometimes humans aren't the only ones in need of our assistance!

Regular Training

  • Weekly training
  • External courses

The team trains regularly every week. There are also special sessions to cover skills such as medical care, technical rescue and swiftwater rescue.
