Even more remote than the FERG groups from isolated townships are the various mine Emergency Rescue Teams. These amazing groups have extensive skills in all manner of firefighting and emergency care, as well as vertical, underground and on-ground rescue. Hopefully coming soon (all fingers crossed) will be some Energy Resources Australia (ERA) shoulder patches from their various mine Emergency Rescue Teams.
