This morning, the volunteers of Skerries Coast Guard undertook routine rescue training at the South Strand, Skerries. This involved the scenario of the Coast Guard search team locating a casualty at the foot of cliffs. A second rescue team at the top of the cliff were required to set up an equipment support link to transfer additional specialised medical and rescue equipment to the team on the shore.

Weather conditions on scene were difficult with strong winds making for a challenging but realistic exercise. The training scenario was successfully completed by the Skerries team.
