Cobalt Response

Cobalt response is an MSA licensed Stage Safety Unit (SSU) based on a land rover 130 with a 300tdi engine and is run in conjunction with Solent Recovery (same unit).

As Solent Recovery & Cobalt Response are one in the same unit, this allows us greater flexibility whenever the unit operates as an SSU, making immediately available a very wide range of equipment for stabilising and securing a casualty vehicle.

As an SSU, Cobalt Response is intended to provide rapid Fire and Medical intervention and to maintain a standard of scene safety until the rescue unit arrives where our assistance will then be provided as required.

With base locations in Buckinghamshire, Somerset and North Cambridgeshire, most areas of the country are in easy reach for event support and keeping the costs as low as possible for the organisers is a priority.

The crew undergo regular training at a facility based in North Cambridgeshire under the direction and instruction of rescue-services trainers and state registered Paramedics. We also enlist the help with training from Fire & Rescue instructor’s to be safe in the knowledge we can cope with any situation we may come across.

All the crew have “other” permanent employment, and although we are all volunteers at an “Amateur” level, we do pride ourselves on being able to provide a professional service to events who have the foresight to utilise our skills.
