Incident report

Immediately on arrival at the previous incident, Buxton MRT was re-tasked to Fough Farm, Hollinsclough, following the report of a 77 year oldFough farm 6 jo rob man suffering a suspected heart problem.

Members already at Speedwell Cavern turned around whilst those still travelling were diverted by text message and radio calls.

An elderly gentleman from Newark had collapsed whilst walking with friends on a remote track between Hollinsclough village and Booth Farm.   Derbyshire Leicestershire & Rutland Air-ambulance was arriving on scene at the same time as the first team members.  The casualty was quickly assessed to be in a serious condition and medical treatment was ongoing as he was carried a short distance on a rescue stretcher to the aircraft.  The gentleman was then flown to The Royal Stoke Hospital where we believe, following further treatment, he was admitted to a specialist ward.
