The local team who I don't think get enough thanks is the Poole Coastguard Team.
Now these chaps not only deal with their own patch, but they cover the helicopter landing site at Whitecliffe close to Poole Hospital. Basically every time the helicopter is inbound they have to quickly make their way down to the landing site to clear the area for landing; they then assist with the casualty. I suppose its a bit of a 'run of the mill' job to keep repeating each time but at the end of the day a still an important one.
Poole Team are our flank team to the north, that we often hear on the radio but rarely see. Whilst one of our specialisms is Cliff Rescue, they are the team that specialises in Mud Rescue - needed in Poole harbour.
