Incident 24. Our Team was called by the Police at 20:30 to attend an incident at Swelltor Quarry. A 13 year old had fallen from height onto rocks and sustained several injuries. It took only 35 minutes for our initial response party to reach the casualty and assess his injuries and provide pain relief. Once the support team arrived he was packaged in a vacuum mattress and insulated Casualty Bag. He was then stretchered back to our RVP at the start of the Foggintor track. At 23:10 he was handed over to the care of paramedics from the South West Ambulance Trust HART team to await transfer to hospital.
We wish the young lad a speedy recovery.
