Some of the members of the rescue team attending to the weekend incident
Sixteen members of the Oldham Mountain Rescue Team were involved in saving a female on Crompton Moor on Saturday.
The team received a request for assistance from the North West Ambulance Service who were responding to reports the woman had slipped and injured her ankle while out walking.
The Team and NWAS paramedics arrived at the same time, jointly administering medical aid and warming the casualty in OMRT’s special big, fluffy winter casualty bag.
She was then packaged on the team’s stretcher and carried the small distance to their Land Rover, using a simple rope system for back up on the steep slope.
