The Kinder Mountain Rescue Team {Link without Title} is one of seven Mountain Rescue Teams that provide a purely voluntary, un-paid blue-light emergency service in the Peak District region of England. The team is a member of the PDMRO - Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation. The Peak District National Park is the world's second most visited national park - bounded by Manchester to the North, Sheffield to the East, Derby and Stoke-Upon-Trent to the South and the Cheshire Plains to the West. The Kinder Mountain Rescue Team primarily provides a Search and Rescue service for the area around Kinder Scout Mountain and outwards in a corridor towards the town of Stockport to it's North, though we frequently assist teams in other areas and operate outside our region when needed. The team respond to call-out requests from/via Derbyshire Police, though they can originate from many sources - both other blue-light services (such as the Regional Ambulance Service or the Fire Brigade when they are unable to reach a casualty for whatever reason), and members of the public. Mountain Rescue teams in the Peak District don't just work in mountainous areas! Increasingly we are called upon to assist with urban searches/rescue missions where our specialist skills can supplement other emergency services. We are able to call upon helicopter air support - from the RAF, POLICE and AIR AMBULANCE as the needs of an incident dictate (or, more usually - as the weather dictates!). There are seven Mountain Rescue teams in the Peak District area; Kinder, Glossop, Oldham, Woodhead, Edale, Derby and Buxton. We can only continue to function with the generous donations we receive (an new ambulance costs some 40,000 Sterling Pounds, and around 15,000 pounds per year for team running costs!). |
