Incident report

Whilst the Team was dealing with the incidents in the Macclesfield area, we received a call to assist Edale Mountain Rescue Team with a call out above Castleton. At the time, EMRT were also dealing with another incident.

Between the two MRT’s and working with the East Midlands Ambulance Service paramedics, the injured person was located on the path leading up to Hollins Cross.

Pain relief was provided and the injured walker was placed on the stretcher for an evacuation down the path to the waiting ambulance, for onward transport to hospital.

We wish the casualty a speedy recovery.
