In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Cumbria County Council’s Fire and Rescue Service is supporting teams across the council, NHS and the wider Local Resilience Forum by undertaking additional duties to protect communities across Cumbria. Cumbrian firefighters have been working tirelessly since the start of the pandemic to support communities in every way possible – from helping to deliver food parcels, PPE, emergency medication and more recently supporting the roll out of lateral flow testing. Lateral flow testing is already under way within the service and means all staff, including those who are undertaking vital Covid-19 work, are kept safe and are able to prevent the spread of the virus by anyone who may be asymptomatic.
A COMMUNITY has been left in shock after the tragic death of a one-year-old baby. Little Leiland Corkhill has been identified as the baby at the centre of a murder probe in Cumbria. He died just aged one, shortly after paramedics rushed him to Furness General Hospital with a head injury. The North West Ambulance Service was called to a house in Barrow on January 6. Paramedics were concerned about the child’s injuries and called Cumbria Police. Birth mum Laura Corkhill and gran Yvonne Corkhill both from Whitehaven raced to his side. Leiland was moved to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool where he died a short time afterwards.
