SAREX26 was a multi-agency river rescue and search exercise led by #Limerick Fire and Rescue Service, designed to strengthen coordination and interoperability between responding agencies operating in the river environment.
The run-in to the exercise included detailed planning, safety briefings, and lectures on the search methodology to be employed, delivered by LCFRS. This phase also involved close engagement with partner agencies, including Limerick Civil Defence, to ensure a shared understanding ahead of live operations.
The first phase of the exercise consisted of a navigation from Limerick City to Ardnacrusha, during which local, site-specific hazards and hydrologically challenging features of the river were identified. This provided valuable context for operational planning and future incident response.
The exercise scenario involved a pleasure craft sinking with multiple casualties entering the water. Resources deployed included rescue boats, land search teams, a drone team, and specialist vehicles, including an on-site coordination unit. Effective inter-agency working ensured all casualties were located and recovered in a controlled and timely manner.
LCFRS was supported by Naval Service Reserve, Clare Civil Defence, Civil Defence College, and MRCC. A number of learning points were identified, which will inform future training and further enhance joint operational effectiveness.
