I hope this is okay to post, given the closeness of this community to Mountain Rescue.
I haven't posted on here in years, but I wanted to share the following statement from Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team following a devastating fire at our base last night, and point you in the direction of the following links. Any further comment please refer to pressofficer@cbmrt.org.uk
"A short statement from last night:
Shortly after 8.30pm on Saturday evening we were alerted by Gwasanaeth Tân ac Achub De Cymru / South Wales Fire and Rescue Service regarding smoke emitting from our base. We assisted fire officers with gaining access into our building where a fire was discovered and we are indebted to the bravery and professionalism from the guys at Green Watch, Merthyr Tydfil Fire Station.
The fire has destroyed our control vehicle and severely affected both 4x4 response vehicles.
We will continue to provide as good a Search & Rescue service as we can through this very difficult and challenging period and we’re very grateful for the support of our neighbouring rescue teams in helping us with this.
We’re also grateful for all your offers of help from across the communities, although our first step has to be to await the results from our insurance assessors and only once that’s known will we be able to plan our fundraising strategy for replacement vehicles and equipment."
