Please anyone who thinks it's a good idea to go taking a dip near a weir please I beg you to watch this first! https://t.co/AyVFor9k1i
It's a demonstration of how a weir works and what happens when you get trapped in the cycle!
Thank you!

WATER TEAM TRAINING

Today saw our Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Technicians take on a CPD day on the river Teme in Ludlow.

Today's training focused on ropework, managing water rescue scenarios and working in/around weirs.

A week living at 45 degrees learning about leadership, followership, teamwork and resilience… oh and a bit about sailing a 70” Clipper too! #inspiration

Take a look at this little monkey.

It appears that we have some people, very close to the team who are simply wondrous woollen wizards.

@ZEISS_Group - fantastic bits of kit! Thank you!

[Marcel | WestMerciaSAR @wmsar_marcel]

I had a bit of a play with a thermal scope. A very impressive piece of kit.

This picture really doesn't do it justice.
