At 18:55 on Sunday 21st February 2021 Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team (CVSRT) received a request from Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) to assist with the evacuation of a female who had fallen and suffered a hip injury whilst out mountain biking near Sutton In Craven.

 

YAS were first on scene and provided initial medical care.  Upon arrival of CVSRT additional pain relief was provided.  The casualty was then placed into a protective vacuum mattress, transferred onto a stretcher and carried to the awaiting ambulance.

 

We would like to thank the residents of Wood Vale Farm who guided Team vehicles in from the road and allowed use of their driveway for responding team vehicles and ambulance.  This made access to the incident much easier.

At 19:11 on Tuesday 2nd February 2021 Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team (CVSRT) received a request from North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) to assist with the evacuation of a male who had suffered a lower leg injury whilst at home.  Due to the weather conditions NWAS could not drive their vehicle to the farm and required assistance to transport the casualty to the ambulance.

 

On identifying the location of the incident the call was passed to our neighbours Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team as it was within their operational area with a limited response from CVSRT sent to provide assistance.

 

CVSRT were able to drive up directly to the farmhouse and transport the casualty, in our team vehicle, back to the awaiting ambulance.
