At Rhossili, there are many instances where the Rhossili Coastguard team have to call upon other emergency services and emergency service vehicles to aid them for a variety of different instances, which could be the Sea King winching a casualty off one of the many cliff faces around or it could be the bomb squad having to destroy some shells left over from the war that continue to was up on the north of the Gower peninsula. Also with Gower not being very accesible in certain areas especially around the coast it is very good that there are so many different emergency services that assist us and below is just some of them.

	Rhossili Mobile: Rhossili and Oxwich both have a Toyota Hilux, which is a 4x4 vehicle. Most Coastguard rescue teams require a 4x4 vehicle due to the rough terrain that it has to cover. Rhossili Mobile has both cliff and search & rescue equipment on board that can be seen in the equipment section.
	Oxwich Mobile: Oxwich mobile is another Coastguard team that is situated just a few miles away from Rhossili, which is also a search and rescue, cliff team. If Rhossili has a callout that requires more people then we will call upon Oxwich for back up or if Oxwich need more people for a call out then they will call upon us for back up.
	Loughor Mobile: Loughor Mobile has a team compliment of 6 persons and is a enhanced search and rescue, mud team that is situated by the Loughor Estery.
	Horton IRLB: Horton Inshore Rescue Lifeboat is probably the service that we call for most often at Rhossili and they usually assist us in such incidents as searching for missing persons that may be in the water or rescuing people that become stranded on The Worms Head or even helping surfers that have been pulled out too far by the tide.
	Burry Port IRLB: Burry Port Inshore Rescue Lifeboat isn't a service that we often call upon that often as it is further away than Horton IRLB, but when it is called it it usually either a major search where there is the need for moe people or rescueing people that have been cut off by the tide on Burry Holmes or they may help to look for people lost at sea.
	Mumbles All Weather Lifeboat: Mumbles all weather lifeboat has only assisted Rhossili Coastguards once this year as it is quite far away from Rhossili, and if Rhossili do need a lifeboat we generally call for Horton IRLB. The only time Mumbles lifeboat has assisted us this year is when we were searching for a missing casualty that had tried to swim across the causeway from the Wormshead, which is where we had Mumbles lifeboat, Horton IRLB and Burry Port IRLB.
	Helimed: Helimed is an ambulance helicopter that has two paramedics on board as well as the pilot and is capable of taking one casualty to hospital at any one time. Helimed is especially good for landing in difficult terrian as it is smaller than the Sea King helicopter and it can land in smaller areas, as we have seen in many different instances. The best advantage for us with Helimed is that around the Gower Coast it is very difficult for regular ambulances to get to these areas but with Helimed it doesn't have this problem as it will land more or less any where it can.
	Sea King: The Sea King helicopter is a service that is called upon a lot by Rhossili Coastguards as they can assist us in so many ways from aiding us to look for missing persons and the removal of casualties from the cliff face. The Sea King is a RAF helicopter from Chivenor and there are three helicopters that can be called on and they are named Sea King 169, 170 and 171 depending on what order they took off in.
	Police Helicopter (WO99): The police helicopter can only be called by the police and it usually assists us in a search where the police are involved and it is especially effective at night as it has Leo thermal imaging/video camera system on board that is very useful to find a persons body heat, which is so powerful that on one particular callout it found a portable barbaque that had been buried under the sand on the beach that had been out for a few hours.
	Bomb Squad: We usually have to call the bomb squad around two or three times a year due to world war two shells that continually wash upto on to a North Gower beach, most of the shells are dormant but there are still a few live ones that they safely detonate on the beach. The Royal Navy's bomb disposal vehicle is shown opposite.
