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

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

Greater Manchester Police in first operational use of SARCALL in connection with calling out Bolton MRT
This afternoon the team received its first call out activation by Greater Manchester Police utilising the SARCALL system, via pager to all team members, with simultaneous text and email messages to our Call Out contact group.
We already receive call out activations from Lancashire Constabulary via SARCALL, with this call today representing the historic first time that GMP have used it to call us out operationally since GMP went ‘live’ with SARCALL recently.
At 15.36hrs GMP contacted the team via SARCALL regards a possible missing person search in the vicinity of Rivington Barn, Lever Park.
The call was answered by our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE who liaised with the on duty GMP Force Duty Officer to obtain further information, resulting in the intention of Garry to meet a responding GMP Missing Person Search Manager at Rivington, and in the interim place the Bolton MRT membership on standby for a possible search operation.
At this early stage, one team member was already en route to our GMFRS Bolton Central Fire Station garage to collect our Incident Control Vehicle, with another member immediately available to collect any other team vehicle required at this early stage.
The person involved was located safely by a Police patrol initially sent to the area, being found actually during the telephone briefing call between our Team Leader and the GMP Force Duty Officer.
At 15.48hrs the team membership was paged with the news that the team would not be required.
This call from Greater Manchester Police is recorded here for information and interest purposes only and does not feature in our incident listings.
