Welcome to the Cornwall Search and Rescue Team website.
Cornwall SRT is a registered charity that provides a search and rescue service across inland Cornwall for missing and injured people 24/7. Dealing with up to 60 incidents a year, we're one of the busiest teams of our kind in Southern England.
Our call outs are throughout Cornwall - from Bodmin Moor through to town and countryside areas.
Here you will find pages of information and latest news all about us and how you can help to support our vital work.
In response to requests for more information about the team, we have enhanced the 'About Us' section. Click on that page and check out all the links in the box on the right hand side.
You can also contact the team (see contacts page for details) and be sure to browse our image gallery.
And for a special treat, be sure to check out this YouTube footage of the team training with Rescue 169 from RAF Chivenor up on Bodmin Moor last summer.
| Spreading the Word |
| On Friday 5th March (St Piran's Day) we took our team landy to visit the children of St Ia School in St Ives. They learned all about the work of the emergency services and were well clued up on the hazards to look out for in the great outdoors. A quick tour of the landy followed and a chance to test out the cas bag and vac splints followed by a few questions and finally a recap. Out thanks to Miss Hudson and class for looking after us. |
| [12] - Rosewarne, Mine Rescue |
Two mine rescue controllers attended a mineshaft rescue near to Rosewarne to provide support to Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service who had been called to a report of a dog fallen down a shaft. Further CSRT technical rescue personnel were stood down en route. Fire service personnel recovered the dog from the 80 foot dry shaft, unfortunately deceased. |
