Ambulance Assist for Collapsed Walker

27/5/2020

 
Shortly before 1:00 p.m. the Team was requested to assist an ambulance crew trying to access an ill walker in the hills immediately south of Machynlleth.

As volunteers were preparing to deploy, a Team member out exercising on his bike encountered the casualty and attending paramedic, who were being transported by a local farmer in his ATV. With the information that the evacuation was safely underway, the Team was stood down.

Child and Carers Stuck on Steep Ground

12/5/2020

 
Shortly after 10 p.m. call-handlers from the Team were made aware of a child stuck on a steep slope along with two carers. 

The 14 year-old vulnerable male had absconded from a residential facility in the Dolgellau area earlier in the day. The youth was followed by a number of carers and played "cat and mouse" with the pursuing staff, before ending up in an area littered with dense tree-felling waste. As darkness fell, the child stopped running and settled on a steep slope. Carers were 20-30 feet away but unable to reach him because of the terrain. A short while later the boy reported that he had hurt his leg.

Team volunteers were able to access the scene and assess the situation. The child was able to walk on the injured leg, and the casualty party were walked out slowly through the timber debris. Everyone was safely back at the roadside by 1:15 a.m.
