Thurston 28th July 2015 17:01hrs 35/2015

The afternoon was showery and cool for the time of year.

The Team was called out to a young female who had collapsed on the lake shore near Thurston Outdoor Education Centre, on the north east side of the lake.

One land rover was quickly dispatched. On arrival, paramedics, community first responders and the North East Air Ambulance were already attending to the casualty. Although we prepared the stretcher to carry her up the banking to the waiting ambulance, she was in fact well enough and able to walk up.

In total 14 team personnel responded to this incident which took 1 hour.
