Well i didn't know a thing about USAR until this (or Lincolnshire's) came flying up behind us, all lit up, in the outside lane of the A47 around Norwich.

I asked my Police friend about this and apparently USAR were introduced a few of years ago to provide rapid response to "Major Disasters"...so effectively the UK DOES have a Katastrophenschutz/THW combined force.
