What we do
We are a voluntary emergency service who attend callouts in response to requests from the Police. The team is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Our main function is the search and rescue of injured walkers or climbers, but our role extends beyond that to other areas where our skills are of use, such as searches for vulnerable people in rural areas. The team are trained for many different types of incidents ranging from crag rescue through to searches for missing people. When a casualty is found, the team will administer first aid if required and then evacuate to a location which can be reached by the ambulance service. Often this can involve a stretcher evacuation.
Our principle area of operations extends from the southern Peak District to as far south as Milton Keynes, but we can also be called to assist teams in other areas when needed. In the past, the team has attended incidents in areas as far afield as Wales and Scotland.
