Allow independent search and rescue charities to use blue lights at emergencies

Petition Details

Require the Government to amend regulations to allow independent search and rescue charities to use blue lights and other emergency warning equipment when responding to authorised call-outs.

Additional Information

Independent search and rescue charities play a vital role in saving lives across the UK. They are often tasked by services such as HM Coastguard and police to attend time-critical incidents. Unlike Mountain Rescue England and Wales, many cannot use blue lights, causing delays. Allowing their use would improve response times, coordination, and help save lives.
