At 14:36 today, the team was paged by NWAS (Manchester) to respond to assist an NWAS (Manchester) Rapid Response Vehicle and an NWAS (Manchester) Emergency Ambulance, both stuck on compacted snow and ice whilst accessing a casualty’s address in the Moses Gate area of Bolton.

A quick response by our Team Leader Garry Rhodes (who was visiting his parents nearby), backed up by our BM1 Landrover, quickly resolved this situation with a bit of digging and pushing.

Besides the four team members directly involved, five other team members were stood down responding to this incident.
