Volunteer recruitment
Beep! Beep! Beep! Off goes the pager, I grab some gear jump into the car, pick up another Volunteer along the way. Make our way quickly and safely to the Coast Guard Station. As we don our PPE gear we are briefed by our Area Officer on our call-out. A red distress flare has been sighted by the public and we are tasked by MRCC to investigate. We load up the jeep and head directly to the area in question.
Is it a real distress call or just another set of aircraft landing lights mistaken for a flare. We dont know, we just respond to the call and investigate. Could you do this?

From time to time and as vacancies arise, Skerries Coast Guard seek to recruit suitable people to add to our volunteer panel. If you are over eighteen, live in the local area and available at short notice for call-outs, then contact us at skerriescoastguard@gmail.com for more information.
