CALLOUT 29 – Call to assist NWAS in Rochdale

On Wednesday evening at around 22:00, and just as team members were finishing with medical training at our Burnley Base, the team was contacted by NWAS (North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust) to assist with reports of a casualty in woodland at Healey Dell in Rochdale.

Team members responded to the incident to assist the ambulance crew with locating and evacuating the casualty, however, after a search of the area no casualty could be found and team members returned home for a well-earned rest.
