The Oldham Mountain Rescue Team (OMRT) is a volunteer organization of over 50 members that provides search and rescue services in the Peak District and Greater Manchester. Founded in 1964, the team responds 24/7, 365 days a year. They collaborate with local police, ambulance, and fire services. OMRT is funded almost entirely by public donations. In 2024, their total income was £64,810, while their expenditures totaled £80,259. A recent concert raised £812 for the team. The rescue occurred near Park Bridge, a historic industrial hamlet in Tameside. The area was the site of the Park Bridge Ironworks from the 18th to 20th centuries. The ironworks produced materials used in the Eiffel Tower and the RMS Titanic. Mountain biking accidents can result in serious injuries. Oldham Mountain Rescue Team's services are crucial in providing assistance in these challenging environments.
