And then we have our own personal vehicles
Our responding model either has the team responding on a team vehicle, or they might respond in their own vehicle from home. Multiple resources may come together at a scene to form a team.
We are always looking for organisations who might be willing to 'Sponsor a Responder' to help cover this additional costs.
Team Responders currently cover their own...
- Fuel
- Additional blue light insurance
- Tyres
- Wear & Tear
