Mayo Mountain Rescue

Another valuable day of training for the team today as members completed Swift Water Rescue basics and best practices training.

Continuous training is a vital part of keeping our team rescue-ready and prepared to operate safely in difficult conditions.

Thanks to all who took part and supported the session & special shout out to Castlebar Kayak Club who assisted with training. 🚨🌊

Today the team responded to a call-out on Croagh Patrick where a female hiker required medical assistance.

Following an initial assessment, we requested support from the Irish Coast Guard helicopter. The casualty was safely evacuated and transferred to hospital for further treatment.

We would like to thank the Irish Coast Guard for their assistance and wish the casualty a full and speedy recovery.
