U.I.R. Information:

 

  • Ulverston In Shore Rescue was set up after many tragedies on the dangerous bay sands, it was started 48 months ago and we have 12 volunteers, who do on going training competencies of HM Coastguard.
  • We are all trained in basic first aid, knot work, map reading, compass work, radio communications, seamanship, GPS and all other aspects of safety at sea and on land.
  • Our base is situated near Canal Foot in Ulverston on land kindly ‘donated’ by GlaxoSmithKline and consists of one portacabin office and three container vessels. The portacabin office is used for meetings, training and the operations room in the event of an incident.
  • Equipment already purchased include maps, compasses, torches, waterproof clothing, handheld gps and most importantly a kettle.
  • The Rescue Crafts we have at the moment consist of two four-wheeled drive Quads a 4 x4 Mobile Base Unit an Arancia New Zealand Surf Rescue Boat, a Humber Rescue Rib and we have just had donated a tractor for launching our boats on the sand.   
  • We have already taken part in various rescue exercises with Walney Coastguard including beach searches, pyrotechnics (flares) and boatmanship. We have a 15 point plan to work to, which has been provided by the coastguard, in which we must be assessed and prove competent in all the aspects of safety and rescue work. We are all trained in the use of VHF (DSC) radio operations and techniques
  • Now we have our 4 x 4 vehicle we can begin our service in and around the local area warning people of the dangers on the sands and helping to prevent any further tragedies occurring.     

  • In the case of the tide coming in the boat now at Walney coastguard station will be available and with our own equipment and local knowledge should be able to arrive, launch and be of assistance within a very short space of time.
