🤠 Sean McAlonan Memorial Truck & Tractor Run 💙
Remembering Sean, affectionately known as Scooby, each year by bringing together the things he loved most in life – lorries, tractors and a great gathering of family and friends.
As we mark the 8th anniversary of Sean’s passing, we continue to celebrate his life, share precious memories and keep his spirit alive through this special event.
❤️ This year, all money raised will be donated to Community Rescue Service Northern Ireland, supporting the amazing work they do.
Thank you to everyone who helps us honour Sean’s memory year after year.
Keeping Scooby’s memory alive, one convoy at a time. 🚛🚜💙

EARLY START TO A LONG DAY

Yesterday morning the volunteers of the Community Rescue Service where up and at it early with a 4am tasking to assist the Police Service of Northern Ireland with a high-risk missing person in the south Belfast area.

Due to the nature of the tasking CRS utilised Drone, Foot & Boat teams along the River Lagan with the person being located and brought to a place of safety a short time later after having entered the River.

Some volunteers were able to go home, some onto their paid jobs - but it wasn't long before the second tasking of the day came, again to the South Belfast area for a second person.

With the extensive search area, systematic searches took place using off road all terrain vehicles, drone & foot teams with the person being located after a period of time on the ground.

CRS volunteers where able to get a quick bite to eat when the third tasking came, this time it was to assist our colleagues in Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and the The People's Kitchen with the extraction of an injured person in a difficult to reach location utilising off road all terrain vehicles and handing the person over for onward care.

The day wasn't over yet, as yesterday evening 4 of our latest intake of recruits had to undergo boat crew assessments after 6 weeks of intense training to give them the skills, knowledge & competencies on how to handle situations as they unfold as boat crew during taskings, we are pleased to say that all 4 passed and are now ready to respond when the call comes.
