MOUNTAIN rescuers have been given a helping hand by a fuel giant.
Oldham Mountain Rescue Team has been given £500 by ExxonMobile to allow it to buy a set of pulse oximetres.
These will allow members to check the pulse rate and oxygen levels for casualties to enable them to better deliver the best treatment for injured climbers and walkers.
