CALL OUT 60 – Call to assist NWAS at Burrs Country Park
October 17, 2020CALL OUT 59
A busy weekend for the team – this being the 5th call out for team members within 72 hours!
Just before 5 pm today (Sun 11/10/2020) the team received a request for assistance from the North West Ambulance Service. A casualty had fallen off of a trails bike in Lee Mill Quarry and due to the nature of the suspected injuries, the North West Air Ambulance Charity was also called.
The air ambulance was, fortunately, able to land nearby, treating the casualty as team members arrived on the scene. The casualty was flown off into the sunset (for further treatment at the hospital) before team members returned back to their homes/families (and for some to the leftovers to heat back up for tea!)
