Searching times

The West Mercia Search and Rescue facility opened a new base in January on Bridgnorth’s Stanmore industrial estate. The highly trained volunteers of the Search and Rescue team are able to search for missing adults and children, rescue people from floods or rivers, and provide life-saving care in an emergency.

West Mercia Search and Rescue also offer a free online short course in water safety, which may be of particular interest to those who live near water, anglers, walkers and cyclists. Find it at westmerciasar.org.uk/homeanddry/free-water-safety-online-course/.
