Response Team - A very Brief history
The Response Team (RT) was formed
in December 2008 / January 2009 when it was noticed by our Northants 4x4.com
members that Northants was not represented on the national response scene with
its own team. The members of the Northants4x4 forum where mobilised to form a
local team for the county. Going into action for the first time in February
2009, the Northants team has become one of the countries’ most active groups with
in excess of 50 members and over 3,000 miles covered of support journeys. The
group has attracted positive attention from both local press and regional
television.
What is the
Northants4x4 Response Team?
With a seemingly
increased risk of weather extremes and in circumstances where outlying
locations or uneven terrain are involved the emergency and voluntary services
often find themselves without the correct resources. The purpose of the team is to provide an all terrain vehicle back up
service to support the local Emergency services in the times of need, usually
adverse weather conditions. The vehicles can be used in non front line
activities to allow the professional services to concentrate on the matter
inhand whilst the RT 4x4 vehicles are providing all terrain support logistics
as required.
The Northants4x4 Response team is a registered charity that
has voluntarily provided valuable support in these circumstances in all
weathers, day and night 365 days a year.
Resources of the Response Team
The member’s vehicles
are a variety of all makes of 4x4 equipped with levels of items that allow them
to cover the counties terrains in all weathers. This equipment includes
recovery straps and winches through to deep water wading capabilities, as well
as essentials like fire extinguishers, first aid kits, blankets, CB radios, OS
maps etc.
There are in excess of 50 members across the county who are
available to be called up for support. These are centrally controlled by the
duty controller by way of mobile phone, SMS or radio, CB.
Aims of the Response Team
The Aim of the RT is to commit to provide a reliable and
professional support service that the emergency and voluntary services can
depend on. It will provide this by mobilizing trained drivers in suitably
equipped vehicles.
