Incident report

Whilst deployed on an active call-out, the team was approached by man and his two children from the Nottingham area, reporting that he and his wife had become separated whilst walking on the southern edges.

A team spokesperson said “Although the visibility on the southern edges was reasonably good, the wind chill was significant”.
