Incident 21: A busy Bank holiday, called again this afternoon by North Yorkshire Police to rescue an off-road biker who had become stuck on a green lane. Having tried to get themselves unstuck for sometime they eventually succumbed to heat exhaustion. Team attended treated and managed to assist the casualty the couple of miles back to our vehicle.

Incident 20: Called by North Yorkshire Fire Service to assist with a technical rope rescue of a casualty in the water at Aysgarth Falls. Once the team arrived and the Ambulance Service had re-assessed the casualty a simple rope system up the fire service ladder was done. Great joint work with all agencies.
