Just don't go in!

31/7/2018

During the recent heatwave SARA Wyre Forest has issued the advice to the public 'Just don't go in'. The advice has been issued during a period of hot weather which has seen many people swimming in open water to cool down. This summer has already claimed numerous lives of people swimming in dangerous waters across the UK, and SARA has already been called to one of these tragic incidents.

Please take a few moments to click the link to the BBC News video and educate anybody who may be at risk.

Celebrating Land Rovers 70th Anniversary in style.

21/7/2018

Recently Wyre Forest Rescue Station was invited to the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed. Our operational 4x4 response unit known as Mobile 6 was filmed in the parade and shown off on big screens and on ITV to a massive audience. 2018 saw an amazing 70 Land Rovers going up the famous hill climb for their 70th Anniversary joined by our own rescue vehicle being a Land Rover 110 Defender (Mobile 6). This was a great opportunity for SARA Rescue to show itself off to the public at such a prestigious event.

SARA Wyre Forest crew pass Casualty Care exams

21/7/2018

A big well done goes to operational crew members, Sophie and Sam for passing the Mountain Rescue Casualty Care exam!

As well as two of our station crew, three other SARA crew passed the exam from our sister stations. Our specialist casualty care crew are able to treat most conditions we may be confronted with, including trauma patients and administering pain relief, but also those suffering from medical conditions such as Asthma, Heart complications, Seizures or Diabetes.

Many months of intensive training by Doctors and Paramedics have provided a range of skills to deal with casualties which we may encounter. Special mention should be made to our team Doctor for her efforts and support for the crew. SARA now has strengthened its ability to respond to remote medical emergencies in support of West Midlands Ambulance Service and other agencies.
