A 15-strong squad from Oldham Mountain Rescue Team turned out on Thursday (April 27) after an urgent request from the North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust (NWAS).

They were asking for assistance with the treatment and evacuation of a male who was reported to be having a seizure while walking in the Chew Valley area of Dovestones.

The team transported NWAS paramedics to the location so they could give medical aid.

The casualty was then transferred to an ambulance before being taken to hospital for further assessment.

OMRT personnel were involved for one hour.
