Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team received a request from Yorkshire Ambulance Service to assist a casualty who had tripped while out walking and sustained an ankle injury.

The team immobilised the ankle using a vacuum splint and kept the casualty warm by placing them in a winter casualty bag. The walker was then carefully transferred onto the wheeled stretcher and transported off the hillside.

We wish the walker a speedy recovery.
