Calder Valley volunteers come to the rescue of woman in Hardcastle Crags

At 11.01am on Sunday January 3 2021 CVSRT received a request from Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust (YAS) to assist with the evacuation of a woman who had suffered a hip injury whilst out walking in Hardcastle Crags.

CVSRT members were first on scene and completed an initial medical assessment of the injuries and used personal kit to provide additional warmth.

On arrival of remaining CVSRT members in team vehicles, the injured woman was given pain relief, placed in a warming and immobilising vacuum matress, then onto a stretcher and carried out to the main car park.

She was then taking to hospital by YAS.
