The Mountain Rescue Team

Danny Laird lives in Fort William, a small town in Scotland. It’s near Ben Nevis, Scotland’s
highest mountain. At the weekend, he often goes climbing with his older sister or hill walking with
his dad. He loves the mountains, and when he leaves school he’d like to work as a mountain
rescue volunteer.

Danny’s father leads the Fort William mountain rescue team, and next weekend he’s going to
take Danny and a group of other young people up into the mountains to learn some basic
survival skills. Of course, there aren’t any shops in the mountains so Danny and his friends will
have to take everything they need with them: sleeping bags, tents, waterproof clothes and food
and water.

Danny is really excited about the trip. It will be a great opportunity to learn more about mountain
safety and the job of a mountain rescue volunteer. It won’t be easy, but it will be a lot of fun.

So why does Danny want to work as part of a mountain rescue team? He says ‘It’s a really
important job. When hill walkers have an accident, the mountain rescue team is there to save
them. I am very enthusiastic about becoming part of the team because I know that, one day, I am
going to save somebody’s life.’
