LATEST NEWS AND RESCUE STORIES

Lomond MRT had a very successful joint training session with Loch Lomond Rescue Boat (LLRB) today.

The day started with 3 scenarios - procedure and practice regarding triaging multiple casualties; performing Advanced Life Support on a drowning casualty and information and procedure for our Team Members when travelling on the rescue boat.

After this we had a search scenario to find 2 or 3 ‘ casualties’ overdue from a swimming race event. This involved LLRB transferring 2 groups of Team Members to search 2 of the islands; the LLRB crew searching the coastline and inland of another island; and a 3rd Team group searching along the Cashel headland.

Our Team used our newly delivered Life Jackets and Buoyancy Aids, bought with a very generous donation from the owner of Cashel Campsite.

We are extremely grateful to them for thinking of us and providing us with this life saving equipment to use when we are on or searching beside any water courses.

We are looking forward to the next joint training day with LLRB.
