Today we remember.

On Armistice Day, we pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who served and those who gave their lives in conflict.

We will remember them and carry their legacy forward with gratitude and respect. 🌺

Lest we forget.

This Remembrance Sunday, we come together to honour the service and sacrifice of all who have served in the Armed Forces, past and present.

We remember their bravery, their dedication, and the lives given for others. 🌹

🎆 Bonfire Night may be over, but the fireworks often aren't.

With another weekend ahead, fireworks may continue. If you're having fireworks, please enjoy them responsibly.

Sometimes being a good neighbour is as simple as giving a little warning.

On Saturday we welcomed applicants to our Class of 2027 Recruitment Selection Event.

It was fantastic to meet such a diverse group of candidates and share more about life as a Volunteer Search Technician.

Best of luck as you await the results!

🎆 TWO-MINUTE TUESDAY: Fireworks

With Bonfire Night almost here, please celebrate safely and considerately. Remember that fireworks don't affect everyone in the same way.

A little consideration can make a big difference.

🎃👻 Look what we got on our Halloween trick-or-treat trip Saturday!

Instead of sweets, we collected coffee, hot chocolate, mints and bin bags from Louise at Tesco Wokingham, helping replenish supplies used on recent callouts and training.

Thank you! 💙

[Berkshire Search & Rescue @BLSAR]

Bonfire Night is approaching - Fireworks and bonfires can make for a fantastic evening, but please make safety the priority. Where possible, consider attending an organised display.

Let's make it a night to remember for the right reasons.

On 24 Oct, BLSAR led a major multi-agency exercise at Greenham Common, simulating a light aircraft crash. The exercise tested incident management, search, casualty care, extrication and JESIP interoperability with partners from across the region. 🚨

🕰️ The clocks have changed, and suddenly those evenings feel much shorter.

If you're walking, running or heading into the countryside as autumn turns towards winter, remember that darkness can arrive surprisingly quickly.

A large multi-agency training exercise is taking place today at Greenham Common.

⏰ 07:00–17:00

You may notice increased emergency service and search and rescue activity.

Please be assured this is a planned training exercise and there is no cause for concern.

Would you know what to do if somebody vulnerable went missing?

If you are concerned that somebody has gone missing and you believe they may be at risk, contact the police.

Volunteer Lowland Rescue teams such as ours can then be called upon by the police.

Volunteers from Berkshire Lowland Search & Rescue have been called out to support @ThamesVP in the search for a high-risk vulnerable missing person.

This is what our volunteers train for, day or night, in all conditions, working alongside police colleagues.

BLSAR is powered by volunteers, but providing a search and rescue capability isn't free.

Every donation, large or small, contributes towards keeping our volunteers trained, equipped and ready.
