Kirkby Stephen Mountain Rescue

Kirkby Stephen Mountain Rescue team consists of some 35 members and operates from a purpose-built base in the town of Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria. Its members are all unpaid volunteers, who are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assist people in need. We use a pager system to alert team members when they are needed. Due to the terrain the pager system has hit-and-miss coverage. Zygo has allowed us to pass callout requests via team members' mobile phones. This gets the urgent information to team members quickly and reliably using just one number.
