CALLOUT: The team was called by @NWPolice on Wednesday evening to assist @NorthWalesFire to rescue a dog which appeared to be stuck down a cave near Dyserth. We do lots of things in NEWSAR... but rope rescue underground isn't generally one of them!

So we discussed the call with North Wales Cave Rescue Organisation and passed the job to them.
No doubt they will provide more details, but we know it was a hard job.. with a happy ending! Two of our team members are NWCRO members as well and they took part in this rescue.

Are you still stuck for a present for the "hard to buy for" mountain lover in your life? Our 200 club lottery has made over £20,000 in donations to NEWSAR. A year costs just £12. Follow the link for further information. https://t.co/MDSJV1QRSA
Why do we train at night? Because so many of our water incidents happen in the winter months when daylight is short, which inevitably leads to night operations.

Our Swift Water Rescue group held a personal swimming and throwline session on the River Dee near Llangollen last night. We also focussed on appropriate use of scene lighting to aid safety.... cont
