last month We just had a joint trainning mision with our local H.A.R.T ( High Angel Rescue Team ) the purpose of this was to see how a joint mission would go should we need to be called out and need the help of the H.A.R.T get our gear to and from the water
and to alow us the chance to get used to the way they need to set up and operate
both teams learnded a lot, and some good Ideas were exchanged, I am not sure I would call the mission a sucess just yet as the H.A.R.T Takes a long time to rope up
our team leader went to the dive site a little while in advance and placed Recovery Dan ( Our Trainning Dummy ) in the water in advance of the Teams ariveing on scene, this was at the base of a water fall just out side of town
then called us to roll the Dive Rescue Van, We arived on scene and turnded our gear along with Kevin one of our more experienced divers over to the H.A.R.T and moved to the base of the falls
they riged there lilnes and lowered the gear compleate with Kevin to us and we made our search and recovered Dan from the water and placed him in the basket to be lifted to the top of the falls. when we first arived there could have been a chance that a victom could have been saved as Dan was in the water less then one hour when the dive team arived but by the time we got our gear to to the water there would have been no chance for a recovery.
So how offetn do you guys train with other S&R Teams in your area?
it was decided we need to train together more offten but both teams learnded a lot
