Independent search and rescue charities play a vital role in saving lives across the UK. They are often tasked by services such as HM Coastguard and police to attend time-critical incidents. Unlike Mountain Rescue England and Wales, many cannot use blue lights, causing delays. Allowing their use would improve response times, coordination, and help save lives.
