UKRO Challenge 2012

UKRO Challenge: 2012 Rescue Lincolnshire

The United Kingdom Rescue Organisation (UKRO) is a fast moving dynamic organisation that is determined to push vehicle extrications to its professional pinnacle, to drive the national agenda on road death reduction and to showcase other rescue disciplines including trauma, line rescue and urban search and rescue.

Each year regional extrication challenges are held, followed by an annual national extrication challenge, which is being hosted by Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue in 2012.

Extrication teams from Fire and Rescue Services train throughout the year to reach an extremely high competition standard. The challenge events are very competitive and the teams take them very seriously.

In addition to the vehicle extrication challenge, there will be a rope rescue challenge, Urban Search and Rescue challenge and a water rescue event. All of these will showcase the variety of work carried out by Fire and Rescue Services and serve to demonstrate that our highly trained and skilled professionals respond to more than just fires.
