`USAR Rescue 2012` – Italy April 2012
May 1, 2012 in U.S.A.R.
Eight volunteers from the emergency fire & rescue unit have travelled to their italian counterparts ‘Edelweiss Soccorsi Speciali’ in Calabria to participate in the ‘USAR Rescue 2012’. This large scale rescue simulation was on Saturday 28th April in ‘Badolato Superiore’ and saw some 80 rescuers from different volunteer organizations working together in one disaster area.
A debriefing and certificate presentation was held the following day at the Edelweiss headquarters in Badolato where two of our members were honored. Ivan Barbara, EFRU Director, was awarded a certificate ‘For outstanding performance’ and that of ‘Best Team Leader’ whilst Sandro Camilleri, EFRU Operations and Training Manager, was awarded a certificate For outstanding performance.
Such an experience has given our volunteers more confidence when working on foreign soil, with foreign teams, using foreign equipment but with a common interest; that of saving lives.
Prosit guys & girls!
What a great team you were and am very happy for you to have been part of this high quality exercise to gain such impeccable experience… so proud you make part of the EFRU family!
Keep it up and let’s keep on striving to build more on solid and sound foundations!
Well done!
