As with the previous call, NWAS (Manchester) again contacted our Team Leader, this time at 12:40, to request the team attend a nearby residential address in the Horwich area, where a woman was suffering a serious asthma attack.

Three team members were despatched in our BM2 vehicle, an after arriving on scene, commenced immediate treatment of the woman’s serious asthma attack.

Due to icy underfoot conditions a further Bolton MRT vehicle (BM3) was despatched from the search (incident 93/2009) with two team members on board to assist the crew of BM2 in carrying the lady into their vehicle. She was then transferred to Royal Bolton Hospital in our BM2 vehicle.
