Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Strathclyde Fire and Rescue is Scotland largest brigade, with 2.4 million people protected by it.

The Chief Officer - Mr Brian Sweeneyand the Joint Board have supported the team in many ways:

In 2004, they donated £7000 in recognition of the work the team and its dogs had carried out at the Stockline incident;

In October 2006, they formally agreed a joint working protocol to utilise the team's dogs for searches where these were necessary in the urban environment.

In 2007, they donated a decommissioned Road Rescue Unit - a Mercedes Sprinter van for conversion into a dog vehicle to convey search dogs to incidents across Strathclyde. Additonally, they agreed to a funding package for the team which will amount to an excetional £11,000 per annum. The money in this year will pay for the running costs of the van and conversion to a state of the art mobile kennel, with temperature control and first-aid area for the dogs. In subsequent years, the money will again pay for the maintenance and running of the van, PPE and assessment costs for the dog teams.

The website of the West Highland Way Race This 95 mile race is probably the UK's most extreme race and should only be attempted by superbly fit endurance athletes (or the incurably insane!). Taking place over 35 hrs, runners must run the entire length of the West Highland Way from Milngavie to Fort William over harsh and often desolate terrain, in darkness as well as daylight and be able to endure either midsummer sunshine or torrential rain an even sleet and there there is the dreaded midge!

Wagg Foods Wagg Foods have sponsored TSART since 2000 by the psorvision of dog food for each of the qualified search dogs. They also supplied fleeces and polo shirts for all team members.

The support of the personnel who own and work for Wagg Foods has been exceptional - a very friendly group of people who have backed us and assisted us almost from the very start. The dogs thrive on the WAGG Time they are fed on - and Meg and Titan at 12 yrs old and Gigha at 11 yrs old - all still working strongly and in great health are indicators of the excellent food they receive from WAGG.
