CRUFTS

This event is held every year over a four day period in March, where we attend our sponsors stand to demonstrate the teams capabilities in search & rescue procedures.  

Our comp ear and interviewer for the presentations is normally Nick Piercey from Heart FM radio in Birmingham.  The presentation covered a number of areas, firstly what the team is all about and how we work and deploy.  The team also demonstrate some of our rescue equipment which is used by the team to locate individuals. Our main aim is to present the role of the canine dog teams within UK Fire Service USAR role, and how they are trained in locating trapped / missing persons.  The presentation tooks approximately 45 minutes, which includes practical demonstrations and multi - media video footage of the dogs and teams in action.
