NSRI Witbank’s new home!
We are building a new rescue base at Witbank Dam to keep our rescue assets safe and give the crew a ‘home’ from which to work. Although a rescue base building is not usually seen as important as a rescue vessel and other rescue equipment, it is integral to saving lives.
It goes beyond the obvious use as storage space for rescue assets such as vessels, vehicles, and equipment. A rescue base is the central point at which rescue operations are coordinated. It is an indispensable communications centre where rescuers on shore can communicate with our crew as they are responding and with the casualty when possible.
A rescue base is also where NSRI volunteers meet to train, discuss, communicate, and build on their skills.
The new building will play an integral part in keeping visitors to Witbank Dam safe, and you can help us make it a reality.
