CALLOUT 27 – Call to assist with medical episode on Pendle Hill

Whilst team members were on their way to assist with the search (Callout #26) on Monday, a request was received from the North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust (NWAS) to assist with a casualty who had suffered a medical episode on the steps up Pendle Hill. An ambulance crew had made their way to, and were dealing with the casualty, but required assistance in getting them off the hill to the awaiting ambulance.

 

Team members were diverted from the search and responded directly to this incident.

 

Once on scene team members made their way to the location and met with the NWAS crew who were dealing with the casualty. As equipment then arrived, the casualty was packaged onto a stretcher and carried down the steps to the awaiting ambulance.
