Training with Coast Guard helicopter

 

This morning, the volunteers of Skerries Coast Guard took part in routine rescue training with the Coast Guard’s Sikorsky S-61N helicopter at Red Island, Skerries.

The volunteers first prepared the landing site and after the helicopter shutdown were given a ground briefing by the crew. The Skerries team were then brought on a short flight around the harbour, finishing off the training with a highline winch transfer back to the landing site.
