Children cut off by tide

At 1615 this evening we were called to reports of children cut off by the tide on the Great Orme side of the Pier at Llandudno. We arrived to find the children were in fact cut off but were able to return to the steps safely and of their own accord. After leaving them in the care of two PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) we returned to station.

Rescue of injured walker

At 2100 tonight we were tasked by the ambulance service to help rescue a walker that had fallen between two rocks on the North Shore side of the Little Orme. We arrived and started to figure out the best way to transport the casualty to hospital. In the end the decision was made to winch the casualty out so Rescue Helicopter 122 from RAF Valley was dispatched.

As we waited for the helicopter to arive we made sure that the casualty was comfortable and ready to be winched. The Paramedics took care of her medical needs while we were making sure that the scene was safe and to lend a helping hand where needed. This included placing the casualty on a spinal board ready for winching.

The helicopter arrived at approximately 2130 and the RAF Medic was winched down to our location and prepared the casualty for winching. The Helicopter then lowered a stretcher down where we then proceded to place the casualty in the stretcher. After making sure the casualty was ready for winching the Helicopter came back around to extract the casualty. The casualty was then flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd for futher treatment. The Welsh Ambulance service, Community first responders and us were all on scene as well as the RAF Search and Rescue Helicopter.
