Latest vehicle for Calder Valley Search & Rescue Team is this Toyota Hi Lux . Call sign CM3 is based in the Copley area of Halfax .With the full conversion carried out by Pickup Systems in Burnley.

 

CM3 can accommodate a crew of five people with room to carry all the necessary equipment for search and rescue incidents. This includes all the medical kit, ropes and crag rescue equipment and the Alpine Lite stretcher in a folded state. There is also a separate locker to store the fell party members' personal rucksacks and boots etc.

All the cabinets are accessed by roller shutters and fitted with LED lights. Externally the Hilux is equipped with a front winch, to enable self-recovery of the vehicle or other team vehicles.
