CALL OUT 62
This morning (18/10/2020) brought the third call out so far this weekend. Unfortunately, this meant no Sunday morning lie-in, and even missing out on their coffee and breakfast for some of the team!
Just before 9 am, we were requested by the North West Ambulance Service to assist with a casualty who had suffered from a seizure in Lee Mill Quarry.
As team members arrived on scene the casualty was unresponsive, but fortunately did slowly begin to regain consciousness. Medical observations were taken and they were placed into one of our cas bags (big warm sleeping bag) before being placed onto the Bell Stretcher and wheel for a walk down through the quarry to the awaiting ambulance for further treatment.
A quick note of thanks to the passers-by who initially assisted the group as well as helped to direct the team to their location.
