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

Trainee Drowned Victim Search Dog Sasha”s training continues
Today saw the Team’s SAR Boat back on the water ,following repairs carried out by North West RIBS and Inflatables of Wigan. (See website report of yesterday)
Team Call Out list members Dave Marsh (Our Training Officer) and his Trainee Drowned Victim Search Dog Sasha alongside Dave Cook, were joined by long term friend of the Bolton MRT, Paul West who is Chief Executive of AirRescue 24,
for a training session at Jumbles Reservoir, Edgworth, Bolton.
Paul was formerly with the NWAA Helimed 08 and Helimed 72 for many years and previous to this with Lancashire Ambulance service as was.
Paul, more used to being in helicopters than rigid inflatables, took part in the exercise during which discussions took place with the two Daves as to how the team can play an active role in the deployment of all the teams resources when/wherever needed in the North West of England whilst working alongside AirRescue 24.
All the while, the sun beamed down its most welcomed warmth, which was a change to the norm of the cold wet and windy conditions previously encountered since last year.
Many ’trips’ up and down the waters surface provided numerous training opportunities for Sasha whose body language meant she had located the ‘target’ scent article on each occasion.
The final strike on the target scent article was in fact the longest of the day which resulted in a loud bark indication. It is an understatement that her handler Dave Marsh finished the session at that juncture, over the moon with the progress in Sasha’s training to date.
