Members of the Community Rescue Service Water Team were in Roe Valley Country Park are training alongside members of the NI Fire and Rescue Specialist Rescue Team from Blue Watch.
Lots of rain means that we can see rivers getting higher and conditions changing quickly over the next few days. The Specialist Rescue Team showcased the setup of their ropes access equipment. The Community Rescue Service team then were deployed for a exercise. Training then moved upstream where the team took part in practical flood response and river safety exercises.
