The United Kingdom Rescue Organisation’s 2024 Festival of Rescue is being hosted by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service against the backdrop of Portsmouth’s historic dockyard.
The Festival takes place from 26 – 28 September and is an opportunity for learning, development and networking, underpinned by UKRO’s commitment to improving rescue standards throughout the UK.
Fire and rescue services are invited to register teams for challenges covering rope rescue, trauma, water rescue and extrication. In addition to this, the Festival of Rescue will see demonstration sessions featuring fire investigation dogs and heavy rescue.
Registration is open now and closes on 12 June 2024. Visit the Festival of Rescue 2024 website for more information.
