Incident Report #2 2010

We were requested to assist police in evacuating 13 people from a Hummer stretch limo after it became stuck in deep snow at the summit of the pass. The driver had followed his sat-nav, which failed to warn him of the snow. Looking out of the window obviously failed to provide enough information. Sadly we failed to get any photos.

Flooding

Posted on Sat, 21/11/2009 - 23:00

Access continues to be difficult to some areas, with floodwater still present and extensive damage to many road surfaces and edges. The cleanup will take some considerable time.

The Ambulance Service will be resident in our base for some time, while their own station is dried out and repaired.
