19 Callout
Incident 19 10/6/26
We were contacted in the early hours by @aspolice requesting support in the search for a vulnerable male in the Middlezoy area of Somerset.
Search teams deployed into the high probability areas along with police and then joined by the @maritimecoastguard search and rescue helicopter.
A police dog handler found the missing male, our members were nearby and able to deliver pre-hospital care before being joined by a paramedic from the helicopter. The casualty was then airlifted to the nearby cricket pitch for handover to @swas_ft
The team was operational for 6 hours.
