Incident report
Just as team members were settling down to their evening meal, the team was called out to Fernilee Reservoir to assist East Midlands Ambulance Service
A mountain biker had fallen on uneven ground resulting in a painful shoulder injury and damaged ribs.
The paramedics arrived at the scene at the same time as team vehicles arrived and walked with team members to the casualty’s location.
The casualty was given pain relief by the paramedics before being helped onto a mountain rescue stretcher. Team members then sledged the stretcher over grassy fields to the ambulance, which had been brought closer to the casualty’s location.
We’d like to wish the casualty a speedy recovery and thank local farmers and members of the public for their assistance.
