The Arnfield rescue in progress
TWO valiant mountain rescue teams pooled their their talents to help save an injured female casualty in a field in the Arnfield area near Tintwistle.
Oldham and Glossop Mountain Rescue Teams moved in on Sunday after North West Ambulance Service requested assistance with the location and evacuation of the woman with a lower leg injury.
OMRT spokesperson said: ‘The woman was swiftly located and, with the help of the local farmer, we were able to get a vehicle very close by.
“She was then treated by North West Ambulance Service paramedics and evacuated on OMRT's stretcher to the waiting ambulance.“
Eleven OMRT and 15 GMRT personnel were involved for just under three hours.
