Coming up...

0:00:050:00:07

on Hero Squad...

0:00:070:00:09

Six wannnabe heroes...

0:00:100:00:12

facing the worst nature can throw at them.

0:00:160:00:18

There's a new emergency crew in town.

0:00:210:00:24

I'm Rav Wilding and this is Hero Squad!

0:00:270:00:30

Six ordinary school kids.

0:00:330:00:34

Their mission...

0:00:360:00:38

to learn how to save lives.

0:00:380:00:40

But do they have what it takes to become real-life heroes?

0:00:430:00:47

In just two days, these six young cadets

0:00:530:00:56

must transform themselves into a Coastguard rescue team,

0:00:560:01:00

for an extraordinary Hero Squad challenge.

0:01:000:01:02

A man is trapped up to his waist in mud, and he needs

0:01:040:01:07

the Hero Squad to get him out before he collapses with cold.

0:01:070:01:10

It's physically the toughest rescue they've ever had to face...

0:01:100:01:14

Stop!

0:01:140:01:16

..and something no 12-year-olds have ever done before.

0:01:160:01:20

Could this be the one that gets the cadets well and truly stuck?

0:01:220:01:26

The cadets are in the seaside town of Exmouth in East Devon.

0:01:310:01:35

With its two miles of sandy beaches, it's a hot spot for holidaymakers.

0:01:350:01:40

But further round the coast, the sand turns to mud.

0:01:400:01:43

Deep and treacherous mud...

0:01:430:01:46

where the River Exe meets the sea.

0:01:460:01:49

If someone gets trapped,

0:01:490:01:51

it's these people who get them out.

0:01:510:01:54

..Coastguard 106, possible male in the water...

0:01:560:01:59

Her Majesty's Coastguard. One of the UK's four emergency services.

0:01:590:02:04

It co-ordinates rescues around the sea and coastline of the UK -

0:02:060:02:09

an area covering more than a million miles.

0:02:110:02:14

And its volunteer rescue teams are always on standby to deal

0:02:160:02:19

with the toughest emergencies.

0:02:190:02:21

And the cadets are about to come face to face with

0:02:240:02:27

one of the toughest coastguards of them all.

0:02:270:02:29

He's spent 21 years with Her Majesty Coastguard

0:02:330:02:36

and is in charge of five emergency rescue teams.

0:02:360:02:40

I'm not a man who tolerates poor standards.

0:02:420:02:45

He's also served in the Royal Marines.

0:02:460:02:49

NOT a man to be messed with.

0:02:490:02:51

-CADETS: Hello.

-OK, my name's Pete Pritchard.

0:02:530:02:57

I'm from her Majesty's Coastguard. Today, I'm going to be your mentor.

0:02:570:03:01

'Pete intends to take a firm grip of the cadets.'

0:03:020:03:05

'A VERY firm grip!' What's the matter, guys?!

0:03:060:03:09

Oh, a click in my knuckles!

0:03:090:03:11

I can't feel like, all this bit of my hand. It's numb.

0:03:110:03:15

He just kind of eats your hand.

0:03:160:03:19

They were left in no doubt that I wasn't a man to be messed with.

0:03:190:03:22

Time to get stuck in to training.

0:03:260:03:29

As their mentor, Pete will choose one cadet to lead

0:03:290:03:32

the others into a Hero Squad rescue tomorrow.

0:03:320:03:34

-Go on then, off you go.

-They each have to try to impress him.

0:03:340:03:38

SHOUTING

0:03:380:03:41

He's sending them onto the mud without ANY safety equipment,

0:03:430:03:47

so they know how it feels to get trapped in this treacherous mud.

0:03:470:03:51

SHOUTING

0:03:550:03:58

What they're doing is extremely dangerous.

0:03:580:04:01

Estuary mud moves and changes with the tide,

0:04:010:04:03

so you never know how deep it is.

0:04:030:04:06

Pete's only allowing it

0:04:110:04:13

because his specialist rescue team are on standby to get them out.

0:04:130:04:16

I think he's regretting this.

0:04:200:04:22

I think I need more pairs of socks!

0:04:220:04:26

RANDOM SHOUTS

0:04:260:04:30

Chaos. Chaos on the mud flats!

0:04:300:04:33

The mud actually goes up to your knees.

0:04:350:04:37

It actually is disgusting and it smells horrible.

0:04:370:04:40

Oh! Look horrid, feel horrid...

0:04:420:04:46

everything's horrid about it.

0:04:460:04:49

Time to call for backup.

0:04:490:04:51

The rescue team's going out.

0:04:510:04:52

Pete's got a tough job on his hands.

0:04:570:04:59

Somehow he's got to choose a Squad Leader out of this

0:04:590:05:02

mud-splattered lot!

0:05:020:05:04

They're caked in the stuff!

0:05:040:05:06

The mud has gone all over my boxers.

0:05:060:05:09

I'm not kidding.

0:05:090:05:11

The cadets might find it funny,

0:05:110:05:13

but getting stuck in the mud is a serious matter.

0:05:130:05:16

And Pete's taking it VERY seriously indeed.

0:05:160:05:19

There's a time to have some fun...

0:05:190:05:21

but time to apply yourself, and it's got to be treated seriously.

0:05:210:05:26

Are we clear on that?

0:05:260:05:28

The cadets won't set foot on the mud again until

0:05:300:05:32

they know what they're doing.

0:05:320:05:34

So after a clean up, it's off to boot camp.

0:05:340:05:36

To transform themselves into a mud rescue team, the cadets will

0:05:410:05:44

train with Pete's army of volunteer coastguard officers.

0:05:440:05:47

They must be ready at a moment's notice to rig ropes and mud sleds,

0:05:500:05:53

so they can get out to a casualty, and get them back.

0:05:530:05:57

A speedy response makes all the difference.

0:05:570:06:00

Right. Can you see how sticky that mud is?

0:06:000:06:04

Can you imagine if you'd been out there for an hour

0:06:040:06:07

and that squeezing against your leg.

0:06:070:06:10

It cuts off the circulation to the lower legs.

0:06:100:06:14

The other real issue with mud casualties is hypothermia.

0:06:140:06:19

So, we take a blanket.

0:06:190:06:22

So we can wrap them in a blanket, get them

0:06:220:06:24

laid down and get them to medical help as soon as possible.

0:06:240:06:28

In less than 24 hours' time

0:06:290:06:31

the cadets will face EXACTLY this scenario.

0:06:310:06:35

A Hero Squad casualty who's been trapped for so long,

0:06:350:06:38

he's at risk from hypothermia.

0:06:380:06:40

That's when the body's core temperature

0:06:400:06:43

drops below the safe level of 35 degrees Celsius.

0:06:430:06:46

Help!

0:06:460:06:48

A mud rescue team has to get to the casualty as soon as possible,

0:06:560:07:00

dragging sleds full of rescue equipment.

0:07:000:07:02

OK, so we're going to set up a double tow...

0:07:020:07:05

This is the job of the mud technicians, or mud techs.

0:07:050:07:08

Connect it to the bridle...

0:07:080:07:10

Physically, it's the most demanding

0:07:100:07:12

role in the Coastguard Rescue Service.

0:07:120:07:14

Just now try towing that together.

0:07:140:07:16

OK, and stop there!

0:07:180:07:20

We look like dogs on a lead!

0:07:200:07:23

There's no way anyone would have the strength to drag the casualty

0:07:230:07:27

and the equipment back to shore.

0:07:270:07:29

So the cadets need a winch to help them.

0:07:290:07:32

But first they'll have to attach the sleds together

0:07:320:07:35

so they can be towed back.

0:07:350:07:37

Tying a simple knot should do it.

0:07:370:07:39

I'm going to show you how to tie an Alpine Butterfly Knot.

0:07:390:07:42

A what?!

0:07:420:07:44

I'll take one turn, two turns,

0:07:440:07:47

pull it through come round the back.

0:07:470:07:51

There. Alpine Butterfly Knot.

0:07:520:07:55

Now what could be simpler?!

0:07:550:07:57

Ready, Cadets?

0:07:570:07:58

OK. Now take one turn...

0:07:580:08:01

two turns...

0:08:010:08:03

round...

0:08:030:08:05

in from the front... Hang on...round there.

0:08:050:08:07

The Alpine Butterfly Knot is a tricky knot to master.

0:08:070:08:11

But it will be crucial in tomorrow's challenge,

0:08:110:08:14

when the cadets will be covered in mud, and under pressure.

0:08:140:08:17

Put your thumb in.

0:08:170:08:19

Kiera and Alex seem to have got the hang of it.

0:08:190:08:23

Let's have a quick look. Absolutely perfect.

0:08:230:08:25

Let's hope they can do it under pressure in tomorrow's rescue...

0:08:270:08:31

because without it,

0:08:310:08:32

the Hero Squad casualty can't be towed back to safety.

0:08:320:08:35

See you later. Bye!

0:08:380:08:39

Dry run over, it's back onto the mud.

0:08:430:08:46

But this time the cadets will be kitted with protective dry suits,

0:08:460:08:49

buoyancy aids and walking poles.

0:08:490:08:52

They'll also be wearing special shoes called mudders.

0:08:530:08:57

They're basically based on birds' feet.

0:08:590:09:01

As the foot goes into the mud, they open up

0:09:010:09:05

and spread the weight evenly

0:09:050:09:07

and hopefully will stop our cadets sinking through the mud again.

0:09:070:09:10

-This is gross!

-And mentor Pete's got one more challenge up his sleeve.

0:09:110:09:17

A fitness test.

0:09:170:09:19

My shoe's coming off!

0:09:190:09:20

It's the cadets' last chance to impress him

0:09:200:09:23

as he chooses a squad leader for tomorrow's big challenge.

0:09:230:09:27

First, it's tiny Katy versus Kiera, who's 1.7 metres tall.

0:09:300:09:36

How can people do this?

0:09:360:09:37

13-year-old Kiera is used to winning.

0:09:390:09:42

I swim, I cycle,

0:09:450:09:49

and I run and I also do triathlons which is the three put together...

0:09:490:09:53

It's quite hard, and it's non-stop.

0:09:540:09:57

Giving up is NOT an option.

0:09:590:10:01

Impossible!

0:10:040:10:05

But for once in a race, it looks like Kiera's on the back foot...

0:10:070:10:11

Kiera's straight in the mud!

0:10:120:10:15

Pete's looking at who's most comfortable on the mud.

0:10:180:10:22

Well done, Katy.

0:10:220:10:24

It looks like Katy's a natural!

0:10:240:10:26

The cadets must drag a sled

0:10:270:10:29

about the same weight as a heavy suitcase for 200 metres.

0:10:290:10:33

Not easy wearing all that gear.

0:10:340:10:36

The best technique is to keep moving and take small steps.

0:10:380:10:42

Kiera's long strides might be good on the race track,

0:10:420:10:44

but they're not helping her on the mud.

0:10:440:10:46

Katy's so light, she's moving quickly.

0:10:490:10:52

Come on, Katy, keep going, good effort. Good, and stop.

0:10:520:10:56

Katy's won, but Kiera's still struggling.

0:10:560:10:59

Come on, Kiera, keep going,

0:10:590:11:01

-small steps.

-Despite her frustration she finally gets there.

0:11:010:11:05

My welly's come off!

0:11:070:11:09

She carried on. That was hard for her, then. She had a few problems

0:11:090:11:12

with those wellies falling off. Not a bad effort at all.

0:11:120:11:15

Well done, good effort.

0:11:150:11:16

I'm quite disappointed with what I done.

0:11:160:11:19

That's actually nothing like what I do in triathlons.

0:11:190:11:22

Cos you're either swimming, running or riding a bike.

0:11:220:11:25

Out there you're sinking in mud. And you can't move anywhere.

0:11:250:11:28

Next, it's Luci against Andy.

0:11:300:11:32

Andy, are you ready?

0:11:320:11:34

-No.

-Tough! Because the race is about to start.

0:11:340:11:37

Go!

0:11:370:11:39

-Aagghh, my ankle!

-Andy's down. And he thinks he's injured.

0:11:400:11:45

Luckily a coastguard's on hand to help.

0:11:450:11:47

Come on, Luci.

0:11:470:11:49

While Andy's on the mud, Luci completely laps him.

0:11:490:11:53

Keep going, keep going, keep going.

0:11:530:11:57

And well done, Luci.

0:11:570:12:01

Good to see Andy's ankle making a full recovery!

0:12:010:12:04

I did tell Rav don't start cos I wasn't ready!

0:12:040:12:07

Finally, it's Alex versus Lewis.

0:12:090:12:12

Go!

0:12:120:12:13

Alex is flying there.

0:12:160:12:18

-Good effort.

-Alex is in the lead, leaving Lewis trailing behind him.

0:12:180:12:24

But Pete's not only looking for speed.

0:12:240:12:26

He's also looking for stamina.

0:12:260:12:28

As one of the smallest cadets, Lewis is feeling the pressure.

0:12:300:12:33

He's usually more at home on a dry ski slope than a wet mudflat.

0:12:360:12:40

If I don't do something first time I might get a bit frustrated

0:12:400:12:46

because I know I could do better.

0:12:460:12:48

I think I run out of stamina quite quickly,

0:12:510:12:54

so I think it's something I need to work on.

0:12:540:12:56

If ever there was a test of stamina, this is it.

0:12:590:13:02

He's starting to get tired now. The pace has slowed down.

0:13:060:13:10

While Alex struggles with exhaustion, Lewis carries on.

0:13:120:13:16

Good effort, you two.

0:13:160:13:17

Lewis is catching up here. It'll be tight.

0:13:170:13:20

Lewis is gaining on Alex... really pushing himself.

0:13:220:13:25

Keep on going! Keep on going!

0:13:280:13:31

-Come on, push hard.

-Come on, Alex.

0:13:320:13:35

Don't give up!

0:13:350:13:38

With Kiera and the other cadets cheering him on, Lewis does it!

0:13:380:13:41

-How was that?

-Hard.

0:13:490:13:51

Lewis's focus and determination has impressed Pete.

0:13:510:13:55

-That was a really good effort, lads.

-Really well done.

0:13:550:13:57

Well done, lads. Get your kit off and join the others.

0:13:570:14:01

That looked hard.

0:14:040:14:07

That was very very tiring.

0:14:070:14:09

I don't think I've got what it takes to be a mud person.

0:14:090:14:13

But you're in Hero Squad now, Alex...

0:14:160:14:20

and real-life rescuers DON'T give up!

0:14:200:14:23

It's the end of training.

0:14:270:14:28

The cadets have got their hands dirty,

0:14:280:14:30

taking on one of the toughest roles in Her Majesty's Coastguard.

0:14:300:14:34

Tomorrow the cadets will have to deal with a Hero Squad emergency.

0:14:340:14:39

They'll need a strong leader who can stay calm when things go wrong.

0:14:410:14:45

Stop!

0:14:450:14:46

-Pete's got a tough decision on his hands.

-Katy stood out.

0:14:480:14:53

I thought Lewis stood out.

0:14:530:14:56

Kiera is clearly very capable.

0:14:560:14:59

But there can be only one Squad Leader.

0:14:590:15:02

Cadets, time's come to award this to one of you to wear tomorrow.

0:15:040:15:09

We've been watching for leadership qualities

0:15:090:15:12

because tomorrow - Pete's not made it easy.

0:15:120:15:15

It's a pretty tough challenge.

0:15:150:15:18

And the person we want to see in charge of this tomorrow

0:15:180:15:21

and the rest of these five cadets is going to be...

0:15:210:15:25

you, Lewis.

0:15:290:15:31

Don't look so surprised, you've done very well. Well done.

0:15:310:15:34

I was so surprised to get this, I wasn't expecting to get this.

0:15:370:15:41

Did you see my face?! Oh, man, this is so cool...

0:15:410:15:44

Considering this is what we do for our living

0:15:450:15:47

and for you to be able to pick up some of the skills which

0:15:470:15:51

we do every day I thought was very impressive.

0:15:510:15:54

Lewis has a lot to think about.

0:15:570:15:59

Tomorrow's Hero Squad challenge will be one of their toughest yet.

0:15:590:16:04

Three-two-one, go!

0:16:040:16:06

The next morning, the cadets are up early.

0:16:140:16:16

They have no idea what they could be facing or how dangerous it might be.

0:16:160:16:21

I got it, I got it!

0:16:210:16:22

We're going to put ourselves in harm's way by going out

0:16:220:16:25

to rescue somebody.

0:16:250:16:26

So if you haven't got people who are concentrating

0:16:260:16:29

and ensuring that they do their bit to the best of their ability

0:16:290:16:32

it puts other members of the team at risk.

0:16:320:16:35

-Morning. Morning. How are we all today?

-Good.

-Good.

0:16:350:16:39

-How are you feeling about today, Lewis?

-All right.

-Yeah?

0:16:390:16:44

I've got a little present for you to hand out to your team.

0:16:440:16:46

In here are six pagers. One each to give all your team-mates.

0:16:460:16:51

The cadets are carrying pagers like real volunteer coastguard officers.

0:16:520:16:57

And just like them,

0:16:570:16:58

they must be ready to respond at a moment's notice.

0:16:580:17:01

I got it.

0:17:010:17:02

When they go off you are to report to the coastguard immediately.

0:17:020:17:07

Less than a mile away, our Hero Squad casualty is about to make

0:17:080:17:11

a common mistake people make when they don't understand the tides.

0:17:110:17:15

He's taking a shortcut across the estuary.

0:17:180:17:20

But he has no idea how deep the mud is.

0:17:220:17:25

Or how dangerous it can be.

0:17:260:17:28

The more he tries to get out, the more he sinks.

0:17:310:17:35

Luckily, he's spotted by a local man, who knows to dial 999.

0:17:370:17:42

Task for Coastguard 106, possible male in water...

0:17:440:17:48

Can the Hero Squad reach him in time,

0:17:500:17:54

and will they remember what they learned in training? First stop,

0:17:540:17:58

coastguard base, to get kitted up.

0:17:580:18:00

We need to pull our finger out and get organised.

0:18:000:18:03

Time is of the essence.

0:18:030:18:05

HE SHOUTS

0:18:120:18:15

Throughout today's challenge, Pete will be choosing hero of the day -

0:18:150:18:18

the cadet who performs best under pressure.

0:18:180:18:21

Everyone is under scrutiny!

0:18:210:18:23

The Hero Squad are on scene.

0:18:300:18:33

As with all mud rescues, they've got backup,

0:18:330:18:36

from the Fire and Rescue service.

0:18:360:18:38

But it's Lewis who's in charge.

0:18:380:18:41

We have a mud rescue and we have to find a person called

0:18:410:18:45

Paul Howell and he'll tell us the rest of the information.

0:18:450:18:49

OK, so where is he?

0:18:490:18:51

I think we have to shout for him. Wait!

0:18:510:18:55

-Are you Paul?

-Paul made the 999 call.

0:18:550:18:58

He's what the emergency services refer to as the first informant.

0:18:580:19:02

He's probably been in there

0:19:020:19:04

for the best part of three quarters of an hour now.

0:19:040:19:07

HELP!

0:19:070:19:09

That's key information.

0:19:090:19:10

The Hero Squad casualty's been out there for 45 minutes.

0:19:100:19:14

HELP!

0:19:140:19:15

The longer he's stuck, the colder his body's getting.

0:19:150:19:18

I think we really need to get going

0:19:210:19:23

because it's been quite a long time.

0:19:230:19:25

Kiera, Alex, Luci and Katy are the mud techs.

0:19:250:19:30

Their job will be to get out to the casualty,

0:19:300:19:33

get him onto the sled then give the signal to winch him in.

0:19:330:19:36

I'm ready.

0:19:360:19:38

They're impatient to get going.

0:19:380:19:40

But Lewis needs to sort out the equipment first.

0:19:400:19:43

Erm... We'll put all...

0:19:430:19:46

I'm not sure... what does this yellow thing do?

0:19:460:19:49

Squad Leader Lewis is wasting valuable time.

0:19:490:19:52

AND he's forgotten something...

0:19:520:19:54

Are you sure they've got a blanket or something?

0:19:570:20:00

He'll be really cold.

0:20:000:20:01

Do they have a blanket?

0:20:010:20:03

He said not to do any first aid unless they have

0:20:030:20:05

bleeding on the mud so I don't think we'll need to take any first aid.

0:20:050:20:08

WRONG, Lewis. This is what Pete actually said...

0:20:080:20:12

We take a blanket.

0:20:120:20:15

So we can wrap them in a blanket, get them

0:20:150:20:17

laid down and get them to medical help as soon as possible.

0:20:170:20:20

Lewis isn't off to a good start.

0:20:200:20:23

The Hero Squad casualty is at risk of hypothermia,

0:20:250:20:28

and needs a blanket to warm him up.

0:20:280:20:30

Good job Andy's on the ball.

0:20:320:20:34

Yeah, but I think he'll need a blanket.

0:20:340:20:37

He'll be in the stretcher. I think he'll be really cold.

0:20:370:20:40

OK, we'll take a blanket then.

0:20:400:20:42

Good call, Andy.

0:20:420:20:44

Now the mud techs can FINALLY got going.

0:20:440:20:47

Let's go, guys.

0:20:480:20:50

They're attempting a coastguard rescue no 12-year-old has

0:20:550:20:59

-ever done before.

-Come on, you two.

0:20:590:21:01

The mud will push them to their physical limit.

0:21:020:21:05

Back on shore, Andy's in charge of winch safety.

0:21:080:21:11

If the mud techs send a signal they're in trouble

0:21:110:21:14

he must press the emergency stop button.

0:21:140:21:18

SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

0:21:180:21:20

All right, mate? We're going to get you out.

0:21:220:21:26

Kiera and Alex get to the casualty first.

0:21:260:21:30

At 100 kilograms, he's almost twice the weight of one of our cadets.

0:21:310:21:35

It's going to be a tough rescue.

0:21:360:21:38

-Are you on?

-Yeah.

0:21:380:21:40

The mud's been putting pressure on his legs.

0:21:400:21:43

So it's good Kiera's remembered to lay him down,

0:21:430:21:46

to get his blood flowing properly again.

0:21:460:21:50

The thick mud is making movement almost impossible.

0:21:510:21:55

And before long, there's more than one casualty to deal with...

0:21:550:21:58

-Aaaah!

-OK?

-Pull me.

0:21:580:22:02

They've just got the casualty onto the thing and Luci's gone down.

0:22:020:22:05

I know they've got to rescue Luci now.

0:22:050:22:07

Kiera's straight over to help.

0:22:120:22:15

Bring your leg forward.

0:22:150:22:17

Good teamwork.

0:22:170:22:18

Coastguard rescue officers always look out for each other.

0:22:180:22:22

The blanket Lewis almost forgot is proving vital.

0:22:240:22:28

But it's not going to be enough to keep the casualty warm for long.

0:22:300:22:34

We need to attach this to us again so we can bring it forward.

0:22:340:22:37

The cadets need to move quickly to organise getting him

0:22:370:22:41

towed back to shore.

0:22:410:22:43

They've definitely got to get to him really fast,

0:22:430:22:46

but I'm not sure where they're at.

0:22:460:22:47

Lewis and the guys on shore are getting concerned.

0:22:490:22:52

The longer the casualty's out there, the greater the fear for his safety.

0:22:520:22:56

SHOUTING

0:22:560:22:59

They got to the casualty some time ago so what's the hold-up?

0:22:590:23:01

The treacherous conditions are making it very difficult to

0:23:040:23:08

get the sleds in place.

0:23:080:23:09

OK, he's attached.

0:23:130:23:14

But they've done it. The first stage is complete.

0:23:140:23:18

But there's one more difficult task facing them.

0:23:180:23:21

Somebody needs to tie an Alpine Butterfly Knot, please.

0:23:210:23:24

I'll tie it. Where?

0:23:240:23:28

Remember the rescue knot they learned in training yesterday?

0:23:280:23:32

Well, they're going to need it now.

0:23:320:23:34

Kiera has to tie the Alpine Butterfly Knot quickly.

0:23:350:23:38

-Have you tied it?

-We need some more slack.

0:23:380:23:42

Everyone's relying on her.

0:23:420:23:44

But the mud all over the rope is making it slippery,

0:23:460:23:49

and almost impossible to handle.

0:23:490:23:51

-Kiera!

-I'm doing it, I'm doing it!

0:23:510:23:53

She's done it.

0:23:570:24:00

That's them definitely attaching it now.

0:24:000:24:03

Now they can get the winch going.

0:24:030:24:05

Go!

0:24:050:24:08

We're nearly there! Push! Pull it!

0:24:150:24:18

The cadets are absolutely exhausted,

0:24:180:24:21

but they're almost there, with Kiera leading the final push.

0:24:240:24:28

Come on guys, you're doing excellent. Last push!

0:24:280:24:32

Come on, guys! Keep going!

0:24:320:24:37

And it's teamwork that gets them over the final hurdle.

0:24:400:24:43

Three-two-one, go!

0:24:450:24:47

Three-two-one, go!

0:24:470:24:50

Three-two-one, go!

0:24:500:24:54

The best bit about the mud rescue,

0:24:540:24:56

was actually going out there and saving someone.

0:24:560:24:58

-OK?

-OK.

0:24:580:25:00

It was really good,

0:25:000:25:02

as a team we all got him back and he's away to hospital.

0:25:020:25:05

OK, ready?

0:25:050:25:08

I've learned that being a coastguard is quite tough.

0:25:100:25:14

The cadets have worked together to pull off an extraordinary rescue.

0:25:140:25:18

The Hero Squad casualty is safely on his way to hospital.

0:25:200:25:24

Well done, guys, that was hard.

0:25:260:25:28

When you go out there and feel how hard it is, you feel a lot

0:25:310:25:35

-of respect for the real coastguard.

-Yeah.

0:25:350:25:38

The Hero Squad have been on an amazing journey.

0:25:440:25:47

And transformed themselves from cadets into coastguard officers.

0:25:480:25:52

Now all that's left is to choose a hero of the day.

0:25:550:25:59

I think Lewis showed a lot of physical strength,

0:25:590:26:01

and determination.

0:26:010:26:05

Alex was showing a lot of determination.

0:26:050:26:09

-You could see that from the shore.

-And helping the casualties.

-Yeah.

0:26:090:26:13

Kiera was starting to really show leadership.

0:26:130:26:16

Bring that forward.

0:26:160:26:18

All strong contenders.

0:26:180:26:20

But one cadet's impressed Pete's more than the others.

0:26:200:26:24

So, you may wonder why the Fire Brigade are here.

0:26:240:26:28

They've offered to assist with high-powered hoses.

0:26:280:26:33

The hero of the day will be doing the hosing...

0:26:330:26:36

of you lot!

0:26:360:26:39

You are caked in mud, and sorry, cadets, you stink.

0:26:390:26:42

I can tell you that the hero of the day who gets to hose you all down,

0:26:430:26:47

is Kiera. Well done.

0:26:520:26:54

OK, round of applause for Kiera.

0:26:540:26:56

Well done, Kiera.

0:26:560:26:58

Whoa!

0:27:010:27:02

Kiera came completely unstuck in training,

0:27:020:27:04

but she turned it around to lead the others in an exhausting rescue.

0:27:040:27:08

And it was Kiera who kept her cool,

0:27:100:27:12

tying that all important rescue knot.

0:27:120:27:14

Have you tied it?

0:27:140:27:16

It was pretty good out there and the way we had to organise ourselves

0:27:160:27:21

without anybody around us, I found pretty fun.

0:27:210:27:24

Well done, Kiera! A deserving hero.

0:27:240:27:27

Coming up on Hero Squad...

0:27:340:27:36

The cadets face a daring challenge teaming up with the RAF.

0:27:360:27:39

Will they be able to rescue a casualty from a remote mountain?

0:27:420:27:45

Find out next time.
