RescueDAYS UK in collaboration with Weber Rescue UK

We have teamed up with Weber Rescue UK to hold a training event, RescueDAYS UK, in Pickering later this month. This is the first time Weber Rescue are holding the event in the UK, the event originated in Germany, where it has been spearheaded by Weber Rescue Systems since 2007.

RescueDAYS UK will take place at NY500 near Pickering on the 18 and 19 of April 2024.

The days are a training opportunity for fire and rescue services and rescue organisations with a several road traffic collision scenarios arranged over the two days. Firefighters from across the region will be attending along with instructors from Japan, Brazil, Germany, and Austria.

As well as taking part in some of the training scenarios we will also be in attendance providing road safety advice to the public.

Station Manager Kevin Scorer from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “This is the first time Weber Rescue UK have brought their international RescueDAYs to the UK, and we are proud to be the hosting service, so this is a brilliant opportunity for us to be involved. The two-day event kindly being held at NY500 will allow our staff to learn new rescue techniques, learn more about emerging vehicle technologies and give us the opportunity to promote safety advice. Attending the event is free for the public so come along, watch firefighters conduct rescues from simulated road traffic collisions, and pick up some safety advice.
