Today, Taree Rescue Squad participated in a joint emergency services exercise at Taree Airport.

This important training exercise provided an opportunity for emergency services to test response plans for both an aircraft incident and a mass casualty event. Exercises like these strengthen inter-agency cooperation and ensure emergency responders are prepared to work together effectively during complex incidents.

Our operators initially prepared for a rescue scenario before transitioning into casualty management operations, where a large number of simulated patients were extricated and transferred into the care of NSW Ambulance crews.

Training alongside our partner agencies is essential in maintaining operational readiness and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our community should a real incident occur.

A big thank you to all agencies involved in the planning and delivery of today’s exercise.

Early this week operators From Taree Rescue Squad headed north to boost operational numbers in the region.

This morning whilst returning to Taree from Casino, operators were tasked to a land search in Talarm, Nambucca Valley.

Under the direction of NSW Police Rescue, operators conducted an extensive land search through steep, dense and challenging terrain for a person last seen on a local property. VRA Rescue operators worked alongside several NSW RFS RAFT crew throughout the operation. Unfortunately, at the conclusion of today’s tasking, the missing person had not been located with search efforts set to continue tomorrow.

Operators from Taree Rescue Squad remain prepared to assist across the state and deploy resources when required to help achieve the best possible outcomes for the community. In recent months, this has included an increase in operations beyond our usual response area.
