Incident no.28 Roseberry Topping (Rescue)

31 Jul 09

30 July 12.30pm

The team were this time called by ambulance control to go to the aid of a gentleman having difficulties on Roseberry Topping. The 82-year-old gentleman from the Hull area had always wanted to go to the top of Roseberry and was about half way up when he started to struggle. The ambulance crew called the Air ambulance at the same time as us although they couldn’t land next to the gentleman they landed near. We helped him to the chopper, which flew him down to the waiting county ambulance where he was reunited with his family.
There were 16 team members on this call, which lasted about 1 hour.
