Cornwall Search and Rescue Team (formerly Cornwall Rescue Group) was set up in 2003 to provide inland search and rescue cover for the county of Cornwall, United Kingdom. As Cornwall has large areas of moorland this is an important part of the work. == History == The most southerly team in the British Isles is Cornwall Search and Rescue Team, however it has always had strong links with mountain rescue. In 1965, Climbers’ Club custodian Jim Smith established the first mountain rescue post in the South West at the Carn Galver Count House at Bosigran in West Cornwall. Rescues at Bosigran, famed for its 200-metre climb “Commando Ridge” nicknamed after the World War II commandos who trained there in preparation for wartime cliff assaults, would be performed by other climbers who would go to the Count House to collect the rescue equipment. Later, a subsidiary post was established in the Lands End climbing area and also the Liskeard area, however the coastal posts (including Lands End) closed around 20 years later as the HM Coastguard developed their cliff rescue capabilities. Similarly, the two voluntary mine rescue teams operating in the county disbanded in 1999 and 2008, after the fire brigade developed their mine rescue capabilities. Until 2002, incidents in inland Cornwall and on the moors were dealt with by the rescue teams from Dartmoor and Exmoor. However, due to an increase in call outs, it was decided that Cornwall needed its own team and Cornwall SRT was formed, originally with the name of Cornwall Rescue Group. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cornwall Search & Rescue Team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
