Incident report
Buxton Mountain Rescue Team called to make plans in order to assist South Yorkshire Police with a major search for a vulnerable 10 year child missing in the Penistone district.
Buxton and all other PDMRO teams, together with the Search and Rescue Dog Association were asked to provide as many members as possible for a 07.00 rendezvous on the following day. Woodhead MRT and several search dogs were already committed to searching through the night.
Buxton MRT had eighteen members available for the morning search but fortunately the child was found safe and well by police shortly after the request was received.
