I don’t fear the unknown. I choose not to live my life in fear. It is by letting go of fear that you can truly be free.

Last year was a busy one for the team. Let’s see what this year has in store for us. The first call out of 2024 was received just over 4 hours after everyone saw the New Year in.

The team are delighted to have moved into a new base, whilst were not ready to share details just yet we're looking for help to kit out new home. Can you help?

Over the weekend five of our volunteers completed their Flood Rescue Boat Operators refresher course at Anglesea. The water conditions at Cymyran Straight and Stanley Embankment are a real test of our team members skills and the capabilities of our boats.

Some of our Flood Rescue team took advantage of the higher than normal river levels in York to get some CPD / training completed.
We had a wading team out and about practicing different wading techniques, self rescue and looking at hydrology in an unban environment.
