14 June, 1930 hrs
3 hours after the afternoon call out, the team received a request from Yorkshire Ambulance service (YAS) to assist with an injured quad bike rider in the remote Dale Head area of Fryup. Both fully crewed Land Rovers and other members in their own vehicles headed to RV at Dale Head. YAS ambulance crew were with the casualty and provided the medical care. On arrival, the team transferred the stretcher, wheel and additional medical equipment to the site about 500m through woodland and on a moorland path. The person was packaged in the vacuum mattress and the casualty bag before being wheeled on the stretcher back to the ambulance, for onward transfer to hospital.
We wish the person a speedy and full recover.
16 team members were involved for 2 hours. As the team members were leaving Fryup, the 3rd call out for the day was received and we then headed to Hutton village, Guisborough.
Applications can be made to join the team in a support role (Operational Support) or as a hill going (Search and Rescue) member.
Applications for either role can be made at any time. Intakes for Operational Support members occur at various times of the year. There is one annual intake for Search and Rescue normally each September.
