Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family following the sad news of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Many of our members were inspired to enjoy the outdoors through the DofE Award. The picture shows members meeting the Duke in 1979. pic.twitter.com/SSTC30CcPB
At 4.56pm yesterday we were requested by NWAS to assist with a 22yo male who had fallen at Tiger’s Clough. The team treated him with pain relief & placed a vacuum splint around the injured ankle, then stretchered him to the waiting ambulance.We wish him a speedy recovery. pic.twitter.com/ZEbrt4vaLT
1/2 From all of us at BMRT we would just like to thank every one of you that donated to us this weekend. It was a hard decision for us not to do our usual Easter meet and great around Rivington but for the safety of our team members, we decided against it. pic.twitter.com/xkNOo8equX
It's been a busy start to 2021 for the team. Three months in & we are already on our way to more callouts than we had last year. If you can support us in our work, please feel free to donate via boltonmrt.enthuse.com/#!/ #BoltonMRT #Volunteers #Donate #Rescues #BeenBusy pic.twitter.com/KhDxLT92N8
1/ Today is usually a busy and important day for the team. With so many people visiting the Rivington area in particular, we would usually have our displays set up around the area to help educate people about outdoor safety. pic.twitter.com/0iKNZaqWU1

❓ Did you know that moorland and wildfires can be started in a number of ways? Sadly, many are started deliberately, however, some can break out by people being careless with barbecues, campfires or not disposing of cigarettes properly 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WDHdEHFcXA

Visit to Manchester Airport
Tonight 9 members travelled to Manchester International Airport Fire Service, North Station, for another familiarity visit and aircraft crash scene awareness visit.
Tonight’s visitors were mainly new members of the Team, together with some old hands. Once again Leading Firefighter Paul Johnston gave a very informative lecture and PowerPoint presentation on the airport, the airport fire service, aircraft crash scene awareness & the preservation of evidence.
As with any operational fire station, there is always the chance of a job and this happened with one appliance being sent to a nearby airport hotel for a domestic incident. We also got to hear the siren you never wish to hear – the crash call siren, whilst the daily routine radio checks and alarm checks were done with the ATC Tower.
Team members slightly in awe of these formidable beasts.
Paul then gave a brief tour of the station, resulting in the usual demonstration of the appliances. They are truly massive when stood next to them, 6-wheel drive beasts. As usually happens with visits like this, Team members completely forget they are adults and huge cheesy grins appear on their faces when they climb aboard the appliance (if you don’t believe me, look at the visit in 2004 for further proof !!!)
Team members start beaming like little kids with their Tonka toys
The tour and presentations certainly showed, the members present, what MIAFS does and also adds to the information received from BAe Warton & RAF Mountain Rescue Services lectures we have as well.

The group left the Airport at 23:00 Hrs after a very informative and knowledgeable presentation from Paul. Only one member had to wait around at the Airport for his other half’s delayed inbound flight.
Our thanks, once again, go to LF Paul Johnston & the members of White Watch for a enjoyable night. We look forward to the return visit.
