Early start to the season

At 16:00hrs we were called to a climber that had fallen 30ft from a cliff face at a location known locally as Pen Trwyn on the Great Orme. The Paramedic (who is also a member of the team) requested our attendance to assist in the recovery of the casualty as he knew that area well.

The casualty suffered suspected spinal injuries and was placed on a spinal board. Due the difficult position of the casualty the safest method of extrication was via RAF Rescue 122 who winched the casualty to safety and took him to Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor.

North Wales Fire and rescue service arrived on scene and extinguished the fire and remained on scene damping down until it was safe.

We were tasked to preserve life and protect the scene from members of the public who might have been in danger. We also made sure that the environment was protected from hazards and pollutants.
