Incident 32. At 19:53 the Police called for assistance following a request from the Ambulance service to attend an incident near Baggator. A 22 year old, who had been walking and camping on Dartmoor for several days was reported to be unwell. On arrival at the site he was found to be dehydrated and lethargic and taking a history revealed he had no water and had not eaten since early in the day. He was sheltered from the wind, then given water and glucose, which seemed to improve his condition fairly quickly. When a SWASfT ambulance arrived he was handed over to the care of the crew and our Team stood down.
