COASTGUARD STATION

  • NameCOASTGUARD or RNLI
    Service-RNLI, fire and police
    Purpose-RNLI boats, fire boats, Police boats, Coastguard Van
    Cost-station around 100,000 vehicles between 5,000 - 12,000 each
    How many personel are required30 - 50
    Training-N/A
    Building expansionN/A
    Number of Prisoner/Patient slotsfor police boat i would say 10 police cells, but than have an IRV to pick them up at COASTGUARD and patient slots none, cos you send a HEMS Heli to the scene to fly them to the hospital??

    was thinking of using a fire station for this, but i then noticed that there is no coastguard in the list of stations.


    the vehicles that this station may need is boats for fire, police and RNLI. no rescue because you will send either HEMS or HART to the scene. although RNLI personnel could be CC trained?

    fire and police dont really need any training unless missions are created for such use.


    coastguard van could be used for missing person/child on a beach, injured person on the pier, or even a whale washed up on a beach. for this POI can be created with Beach, Pier, and lifeguard tower and coastguard van personnel to be CC trained??


    whats your thoughts on this everyone??

  • I like this idea I have some of these as ambulance stations with all CC and Coast Guard Graphics.

    You could put them as RRVs perhaps in the meantime while we get more pressing updates out, however they wouldn't be trained in critical care as that's something the ambulance service would deal with, not the coastguard.

    Coastguard Rescue Teams are unsurprisingly trained in multi disciplines of rescue. Rope, Water, Mud are the main ones plus missing persons search, royal fish, pollution monitoring and ordinance recognition as well as other stuff. so if you want a 'Coastguard Station' then they need to be represented as a 'proper' rescue organisation. There are normally ten or eleven members per team and i think it's about 3,500 across the United Kingdom supported by four or five Senior Coastal Operations Officers per area.


    RNLI, is separate and have boats predominantly plus a few (think it's ten or twelve) flood rescue units around the United Kingdom. RNLI staff have casualty care training to a similar level to CG rescue teams but most definitely not to Critical Care Level (Unless trained and authorised from their 'day' job).


    Hope that makes a bit of sense.

    i see where your coming from. maybe extra training courses to add to the list in a rescue training centre??

    I think it'd be easier to just leave them as 'rescue trained' similar to the way the fire and rescue can do both rescue calls and fires. Enables the 90% treatment for casualties anyhow. Maybe add water rescue for CG and MR teams once that expansion for fire goes live. but for the other skills, it would get very complicated very quickly.
