In the midst of Storm Ciara we were requested to convey a NWAS crew to a patient in Grasmere when their vehicle was unable to get through flood water
She was treated and evacuated to an ambulance waiting on dry land
We were requested to assist paramedics with our Autopulse to transport a seriously ill patient to hospital
Heavy snow meant that the local ambulance could not attend an 11-year-old boy, who had slipped at an isolated outdoor centre. We went, armed with shovels and manpower and took him to Furness General Hospital.
The team was requested to provide transport for local Paramedics, as once again roads became impassable due to snow.
We were requested to provided a vehicle for the local Ambulance service, as snow was making getting around difficult. In the 24hour period a number of minor incidents were dealt with. Another vehicle was also used to deliver 'Meals on Wheels' to local residents.
A woman slipped and suffered an ankle injury. She was attended by the Ambulance service and we carried her down the hillside.
