Co Responding

Yesterday we started training for our co responding scheme.

The idea behind the scheme is when we are out on patrol we can support our colleagues in the Ambulance service, in return we get extra training and equipment.

This was only the start and we will now continue to train for at least the next six weeks before sitting an assessment, hopefully by then the formal agreements between the Coastguard and Ambulance will be signed and we can begin the scheme.

Special thanks to Phil (Ambulance trainer) , Phil (Station Manager Dorset Fire & Rescue) for the use of the facilities at the fire station and finally the Brown family for supplying the bacon rolls at lunch time.
