Incident 18. We were called today at 12:17 by Police to assist SWAST Paramedics with the extrication of a lady who had fallen from her horse near Burrator reservoir. She had a suspected broken left arm and was unable to stand when we were called. Team members were sent to the casualty site to assess the situation, and a team vehicle was sent close to the casualty site to allow a stretcher to be deployed, along with additional team members to make up a stretcher party. After SWAST Paramedics splinted the arm and administered morphine, the casualty was able to stand, and was escorted back to the waiting ambulance. We wish her a speedy recovery.
