Emergency Services day

Today is Emergency Services Day (#999Day) which is an opportunity to recognise the two million people who serve in the NHS & emergency services, including all mountain rescue members who help to provide a 24-hour, year-round voluntary search & rescue service.

One of those volunteers suffered life-changing injuries in 2021 whilst on a rescue with his colleagues from Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team. Chris Lewis was recently admitted to hospital with a chest infection and pneumonia but very sadly died two days later. Our thoughts are with Chris’s family, friends and all members of Patterdale MRT.
