In a busy week for emergency responders in North East Lincolnshire, teams dealt with three callouts, showcasing their readiness for various incidents.

The first callout involved rescuing a 15-year-old boy who fell some 25 feet from a swing, landing on his back.

North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust summoned the team to aid in his extrication from a steep bank.

The team, alongside paramedics, stabilized the boy before he was transported to Manchester for specialized care.

We wish him a speedy recovery.

The second callout occurred early Saturday morning when Lancashire Police reported three 16-year-old lads lost on Pendle Hill.

Upon arrival, two had been found, and the third was safely at home.

The final callout involved a 58-year-old who had slipped down a slope, but the team was stood down before action was required.

These rapid responses underline the unpredictable nature of emergency callouts and the team's commitment to being ready at any time.
