There were two incidents this weekend for the local rescue team.
On Saturday, while assembling for an evening exercise, team members went to the aid of a Yorkshire Ambulance Service crew who had been called to an injured mountain biker at Dixons Hollow in Dalby, The Great Yorkshire, Forest.
After treatment by the crew the biker was transferred to one of their Bell Stretchers in a team vacuum mattress and carried to the waiting ambulance. The incident took one and a quarter hours to resolve, after which the team members returned to the exercise.
On Sunday the team were called by Yorkshire Ambulance Service to reports of a female bike rider who had sustained an ankle injury on a bridleway in the Vale of Pickering.
Team members and vehicles responded, treated the patient and transferred her in one of their vehicles to a waiting Yorkshire Ambulance Service ambulance for onward transport to definitive medical care. The team were deployed for approximately two and a quarter hours.
It takes the number of call outs for the volunteer rescue team to six in the last two weeks and twenty nine so far this year.
