Incident report

As part of an Emergency Services Contingency Plan several Peak District mountain rescue teams were asked to up-grade their availability to Stand-by when winter conditions swept across the area through Wednesday night.  Several A class roads were already becoming blocked with snow and stranded vehicles.

Buxton team was asked to deploy a Land Rover ambulance to wait at Macclesfield Ambulance Station in support of North West Ambulance Service during the period of heaviest snow fall.  No incidents requiring the team were reported and the three members with the vehicle retuned to our Dove Holes base in the late afternoon.
