OMRT s fantastic new vehicle
Oldham’s volunteer heroes of the hills have taken delivery of a brand new £65,000 control vehicle after a mammoth fund raising effort.
Oldham Mountain Rescue Team began the daunting task to replace the vehicle, which is the nerve centre of saving lives in life-threatening emergencies, just over a year ago.
Now they proudly introduce their new Oldham control vehicle - OM3.
Said the team’s leader Rob Tortoiseshell: “We have been staggered and thankful with the levels of support, financial and non-financial, received from all of our supporters and the local community.
“The vehicle will be primarily a mobile control centre for larger, protracted incidents, but also carries a full complement of equipment so it can be used as a response vehicle for local call outs too.

The roads are set to be busy as the bank holiday weekend getaway gets under way
The forthcoming bank holiday weekend will see an estimated 10.8m leisure trips taken by car, new RAC research of drivers’ plans suggests, but if the sun shines there’s likely to be even more trips which will inevitably cause jams.
While the figures indicate drivers have firm plans to take around 7.2m trips to see friends and family between today (Friday) and bank holiday Monday – with Saturday and the bank holiday itself busiest at 2m separate journeys each day – an extra 3.6m are due to be taken at some point over the weekend by motorists who have not yet decided on which days they will be on the roads.
