CALLOUT 36 – Call to assist NWAS

Almost 7 weeks after our last callout the team was contacted by the North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust (NWAS) to assist with an incident in Newchurch in Pendle on Saturday evening involving 2 casualties.

Our teams’ volunteers were deployed and on arrival at the scene, NWAS crews were working on two casualties, with the North West Air Ambulance Charity (NWAA) team en route too. The team was requested to assist with the extraction of the casualties to the ambulance and also provided further personnel to assist in the ongoing treatment.

One gentleman was walked out with the assistance of team members to the awaiting ambulance and was provided further treatment before onward transport to the hospital, however, unfortunately, the second casualty passed away at the scene.

Our team offers their deepest condolences to the casualty’s family and friends at this very difficult time. No further information will be published about this callout at this time with respect to the family involved.
