Rescue Services

Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team (Plymouth)

Roborough, Plymouth, Devon

We recover fallen climbers from precipitous crags, find lost walkers and ensure injured and sick casualties are safely delivered into vital hospital care.

We also regularly search for vulnerable adults, on and off Dartmoor.

We search river banks and swift water, undertake first aid training and develop our field trauma skills.

We have to maintain our technical rope-work skills, search management skills, our base, equipment and vehicles.

Oh, and did we mention we’re all volunteers?
