Where a patrol requires urgent assistance for a life-threatening incident or any incident outside of the patrol capabilities (e.g., mass rescue), the correct radio procedure to clear a channel is to call ‘Rescue, Rescue, Rescue’. For example:
Any rescue or life-threatening incident should be communicated to your SLS state centre communication centre. They can assist you by calling the most appropriate rescue services and recording key information. It is important that you follow any directions they provide.
At the conclusion of the life-threatening incident, your SLS state centre communication centre will advise ‘All stations’ that the incident has finished, and normal patrol operations may recommence on that radio channel.
