In a continuation to one of our busiest weeks, we were contacted by the duty controller to assist an ambulance crew with an injured mountain biker on the off-road track below Mount Famine.
As the report suggested that the casualty was suffering from head and leg injuries, we responded urgently.
Just as we were in the process of deploying our first response party we were contacted to advise that the casualty was in fact able to make their way down to the ambulance and our assistance was no longer required.
