MICK DEWAR & ECHO

I have been in the Fire Service for the past 14 years and a member of UKFSSART since 1993.  I have attended many training courses such as swift water responder and coxswains courses, and in March of this year attended the structural collapse course in Texas USA.  I have been deployed to India in Jan 2001 where the Manchester team undertook the first ever rescue by UKFSSART, which consisted in locating and releasing a mother and her 8 year old son.  My dog is called ECHO and he is 7 months old at present 02/05/04.  I am new to this type of work, but find it very interesting and I am keen to advance in this field of specialist work.

Echo's training is progressing

Echo and myself are performed very well.  The picture here is showing Echo locating a casualty in a section of piping.  The second Photo shows me and my search partner "Echo".

ECHO is also sponsored locally by a Manchester veterinary practice called PET MEDICS.
