Jolly Crofters Fundraising Team

28th January 2015

Following on from similar training yesterday, today at GMFRS Bolton North Community Fire Station / Crompton Way, where we garage our Land Rover Defender Mountain Rescue Ambulance, Bolton Mobile 1, courtesy of GMFRS, two team members assembled for a day of rope work training.

Present was our Equipment Officer – Medical, Nigel Booth, (Who is the GMFRS Watch Manager here) and Training Officer Alistair Greenough.

This training was part of a continuing programme by Alistair and Nigel, amongst others, to look at how we can standardise some of our current and future working methods on steep and vertical ground.

This training session took place entirely in the Fire Station Appliance Bays, unlike yesterdays session in a cold and wet Bradshaw Valley.
