CVSRT - Monday, 27 May 2024
#CALLOUT 
 
At 20:02 on Monday, 27th May 2024, Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team (CVSRT) received a request from Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) to assist with the extraction of a walker who had fallen near Widdop Reservoir, suffering a lower leg injury.
 
YAS and first responding CVSRT members arrived on scene and provided initial medical care. Upon the arrival of remaining CVSRT members, the injured knee was immobilised in a vacuum leg splint, and the casualty was transferred onto a stretcher.
 
The evacuation was over steep and tricky terrain, and a simple back rope was used for added safety. Once back on the main track, the casualty was transferred into the awaiting ambulance.
