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.
