Search ends with rope rescue

The Initial Response Team were tasked on Monday evening at 8.30pm to assist South Western Ambulance at Durlston Castle.

On arrival the team found the paramedic vehicle but not the paramedic or casualty. A small hasty search was carried out to locate the pair described them being on a coastal footpath.

Thankfully the pair were located halfway down the Isle of Wight road and it was soon realised that some rope rescue equipment was needed to assist in getting the injured male back up the footpath.

Having got every one back up the slope the male was treated by the paramedics.

This Callout was the 1st where our new LED lighting was used and it showed its worth tonight hopefully the subject of a blog soon.
