Hm Coastguard Peterhead Description

Welcome to the HM Coastguard Peterhead SAR facebook page. The HM Coastguard have over a 200 year history, where in 1698 officers patrolled the shores on horse back to catch smugglers. By 1743 almost half of the tea was illegally imported into the UK. In the 1920's the focus of the Coastguard had changed to saving lives at sea and on the coast and maintaining safety in major shipping lanes. No matter the day or time The UK Coastguard service is always watching and waiting to protect and save lives not only on our shorelines but far over the horizons.

EXERCISE 19/6/19
The team got a bit wet last night as they headed down to the marina to do some water rescue training. They did a few different scenarios working with throw lines the strecher and casualty care. Also learning a few new ways to extract a casualty from the water using the equipment at hand. It was also the first exercise with some of our new recruits who have one last assessment before being on call 24/7. Thanks to Calum Christie s3b for a good training night.

Today we stand shoulder to shoulder with Les Sauveteurs en Mer - SNSM and all French search and rescue crews after hearing the tragic news that they have lost three of their own.
Such remarkable courage in the service of others is rarely equalled and never surpassed. They made the ultimate sacrifice.
Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and those who responded today in such a valiant and courageous manner, in the most horrendous and difficult circumstances, invol...ving three of their own search and rescue family.

EXERCISE 5/6/19
A bit of a wet night tonight for our exercise but we have to train in all weather. We took the new recruits out on a search. The OIC split the recruits into 2 search teams to start a search of the area. Both teams met up and found the casualty. They then practiced some casualty handling to see what they had remembered from the course they attended last week. All recruits done a very good job...well done.
