Rescue – Hole of Horcum – 11th January, 11:14 (05/2022)
Called by Yorkshire Ambulance Service to reports of a lady walker who had sustained a lower leg injury on a footpath in the Hole of Horcum. The ambulance service had a crew treating the lady but had asked for our assistance to evacuate her to the roadside. After applying one of our vacuum splints to the injury and treating for the effect of cold we transferred her a Bell stretcher to carry (wheel) her up the path to the waiting ambulance and transportation to definitive medical care. We had twelve team members deployed for just over two hours.
