Incident 10. At 21:36 the Police requested our Team to assist in the search for a 10 year old child who had been missing for several hours. There were concerns for welfare, including the young age, light clothing and predicted cold weather overnight. Search parties were deployed to places in the town where young people often meet up. At 22.42 one of our teams, which included a doctor, located the child who was cold but otherwise unharmed. An insulated jacket was loaned and a hot drink given while waiting for Police to arrive on scene, and they then took over care of the young person.
