RESCUE DAY 2015 7 Lakes Country Park, Crowle 2015

Photos and text by

Anthony Catherall

The annual Rescue Day held at 7 Lakes Country Park, Crowle, and North Lincolnshire have a dedicated pool of enthusiasts who regularly attend this wonderful informative event hosted by Humberside Fire and Rescue Service.

It is a joy to see thousands and thousands of families seeing first hand, what happens around them every day of their lives. The amazing work of the rescue services around the United Kingdom, here promotes, Safer Roads, Waterside Safety, Fire & Rail safety.

Current publicity explains that Rescue Day is the biggest event of its kind in the world. Just to observe and experience how the rescue services works, is in itself, a life changing experience in gaining knowledge of how the industry has changed for the better in 2015.

A magnificent new feature has arrived at 7 Lakes Country Park during 2014, through Volker Rail in association with Tata Steel and Network Rail.

Together they have installed a length of railway display track incorporating a level crossing, complete with a large locomotive standing on the line.

Level crossing safety has been in the news lately in our area. Now with this wonderful initiative, the public can be taken through enactments (by the three main rescue services, British Transport Police, Network & Volker Rail), Exactly what happens at a level crossing incident where a train has collided with a road vehicle. This will show people the importance of being safe near or on a level crossing.

For me these two re-enactments during the afternoon were by themselves well worth the low entrance price on the day.

Each year, an average of 400 people drown in the UK. Within 7 Lakes the water rescue services can be shown at their best how to deal with this danger extensively in the 40 acre Clearwater Lake.

Police Officers were in abundance keeping control of

an event at huge as Rescue Day. They had presence too, in the way of emergency vehicles, transport, demonstrations, static exhibitions, and the Humberside police Helicopter.

Similar to Firefighters, Police Officers have to undertake a rigorous training regime including confined space training.

At Recue Day they brought one of their units to allow children the fun of being attached to a suitable harness and then lowered by hoist into the cylindrical facility. There were queues all day and over 500 children were able to share a unique experience.

For 21 years Lincs & Nott’s Air Ambulance has operated in our area. Each mission costs over £2,000 and they fly three a day. Several events are held throughout the counties to fund this life saving facility which needs about £1.9M to operate every year.

Airborne displays were plentiful over the lake during the day. These included the Red Devils Display Team, A Dakota aircraft, Stunt Bi-Plane (Lauren Richardson), Bristow Helicopters, Search & Rescue and the Coastguard Helicopter.

A great day out, look out for Rescue Day 2016.
