Organisation
Led by a Team Leader and four deputies, the team currently has around 35 team members, based throughout Cornwall and one Search and Rescue Dog Association dog handler. Equipment is carried in two team vehicles which are based at separate locations, towards our busier areas, one of the vehicles being a Land Rover ambulance, and the other a control vehicle which also carries much of the technical equipment for CSRT’s rope rescue and water search teams. The team operates from its base at St Dennis in Mid Cornwall.
The team continues to play a key role in the regional and national mountain rescue bodies, as well as working closely with neighbouring teams, and is an essential part of the emergency services across Cornwall. The Team is affiliated to Mountain Rescue (England and Wales) and also the regional representative body - the South West England Rescue Association.
Team members train every Thursday evening at locations across Cornwall, and also one Sunday per month.

“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
