Incident 10. At 23:15 our Team was called to assist the Ambulance service in recovering a casualty from the moor. A teenage girl in a large group who were camping north of Postbridge had been taken ill with severe migraine and had suffered some minor seizures. An advance party, accompanied by two SWASfT paramedics was deployed to locate the subject and a second hill party deployed with a stretcher and full kit. The incident site was just south of the East Dart waterfall. After assessment by the paramedics the teenager was escorted down to our RVP at Postbridge, and handed over to an Ambulance crew at 02:35. A good outcome from joint agency working.
