Incident 17 of 2021:-
19/06/2021, 16:13, Pudding Stone, SD282983
On a pleasant summer afternoon, a group of walkers crossed Low Water Beck, but one of the party slipped backwards and sustained a nasty head injury. Fortunately, passing walkers included former NHS staff who dealt with the initial bleeding. North West Ambulance Service called us to assist, and we despatched two Land Rovers. On arrival at the casualty, an assessment was made, pain relief given, and the NW Air Ambulance, Helimed 08, arrived. It was decided to fly the casualty to Furness General for further treatment.
10 volunteer members attended and the incident lasted 1.9 hours.
