On the evening of Tuesday 14th July this year we were called out to the vicinity of Red Earth Farm, Edgworth, where farmer Clive Holker had collapsed and died at the wheel of his tractor.

In a sad operation, alongside NWAS (Manchester) personnel we helped recover his body back down the hillside to where the Ambulance was waiting.

Today we have received a very kind card of thanks from Mr Holkers’ wife Patty Holker, thanking the team for going to the assistance of her husband, and enclosing a thoughtful £100.00 donation.

The whole team expresses its condolences to Patty Holker and her family over the death of Clive her husband, and thanks her for her very kind support of the team at this difficult personal time. Please see Incident 59, Tuesday 14th July 2009.
