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

Team displays at GMFRS Broughton Community Fire Station in Salford Open Day
Demonstrating the excellent links and relationships we have with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, the Bolton MRT was present today to display some of our vehicles and specialist search and rescue equipment at the GMFRS Broughton Community Fire Station Open Day, at Salford.
It is here that our Equipment Officer – Vehicles, Chris Greenhalgh, works as a full time Fire Fighter on Green Watch, and we have also carried out many joint and multi agency search and rescue exercises with the GMFRS Fire Crews based at this busy Fire Station.
Team members Chris Greenhalgh, Mike Marsh, Anna Toole and Alan James were present today, alongside our Land Rover Mountain Rescue Ambulance, call sign ‘Bolton Mobile 3’ and our Incident Control Vehicle, call sign ‘Bolton Mobile 6.’
Present from GMFRS was a range of current operational Fire Appliances on display including both appliances from Broughton, the Operational Support Unit from Atherton, the Hydraulic Platform from Stretford, the Inshore Rescue Boat from Eccles, a Small Incident Unit from Agecroft, a Salvation Army Catering Unit and various PR vehicles including a miniature fire appliance. Also present was NWAS performing CPR Demo’s, the British Red Cross and various refreshments and childrens attractions. There was an RTC casualty extrication display carried out during the afternoon by the Broughton fire crews.
There was a lot of interest shown all day by members of public in both of our vehicles on display and the team members in attendance answered their many questions.
The team would like to thank the organiser Paul Johnson (Watch Manager, white watch) for the invite and the crews of white watch Broughton who were on duty on the day for looking after us.
