St Pat's Search and Rescue Team

When people are in danger and they need the help of professionals to help save the day, who do they call ? 

The police ? The fire service ? Perhaps the army ? Nah - the St Pat's Search and Rescue Team.

Scooter in the safe and loving arms of his rescuers

Yesterday at Holdsworth, as they descended the dizzy heights of the Rocky Lookout, tired and weary from a day of physical exertion, the team automatically went into rescue mode as they noticed a small dog in need of assistance. Scooter - a small and much loved pet - had become lost in the bush and had wandered away from his owner.

Without even thinking of the risks and the dangers that they might be putting themselves in, the SPSART set about fixing the problem. They carried little Scooter all the way down the mountain and reunited their lost soul with his very worried owners.

Introducing the SPSAR team

It was wonderful to see them in action and even more wonderful to see the relief on the faces of the owners who were understandably distressed.

So next time you need help...you know who to call !!
