It is my opinion that if the statuory team SDIS26 had undertaken the rescue then members of SDIS26 would have been in peril of losing their lives. They are not trained for cave rescue and the SDIS26 would also put into danger the trapped cavers. Brian Jopling Controller West Brecon Cave Rescue Team I have 40 years of experience in cave rescue.
