Support Trailer

An Emergency Support Trailer (EST) containing communications, medical and support equipment is stationed at the Helderberg Fire Station in the Strand for hasty deployment. 

Stored in this Trailer we have a large cottage tent, a gazebo, table and allied equipment to enable us to establish a temporary field base. A selection of radio antennas and masts enable us to ideally configure the radio communications to suite the current operation. A gas stove and associated stores of foodstuffs are available to look after the welfare of team members as well as 'rescued' persons!

Also included is a selection of medical equipment and supplies. Some of this is for the use of suitably qualified personnel.

We recently acquired a new EST which has been custom designed to our unique specifications:
