Incident no.4 Guisborough woods (Rescue)

08 Feb 09

8 Feb 15.15 hrs.

The team were called by Cleveland ambulance control to go to the aid of a fallen female walker in the Pinchinthorpe area of Guisborough woods. Conditions on the ground were very hazardous due to ice and the severity of the slope. The lady had suffered leg injuries that would require her to be carried out to the waiting air ambulance that had been called to speed up the transfer to hospital.
Ambulance crews, Two Community officers, and Air the ambulance crew worked alongside our team members to evacuate the lady to the helicopter and on to hospital for treatment. Another good example of different agencies all working together to achieve one aim which is to ensure a swift and smooth evacuation to medical care.
There were 20 team members on this call out which lasted approx. 45 mins.
