We were called at 09:15 to assist a 27 year old male who had an ankle injury at Mermaids Pool. Our first party treated the gentleman, with other parties bringing in the heavy equipment. We evacuated the casualty by stretcher, which involved sledging, carrying and using our wheel, depending on the terrain. We arrived at the team vehicles at the top of Kinder Reservoir and were able to drive the casualty off road to the waiting EMAS ambulance at Upper House. Thank you to Upper House for allowing us access, which made the evacuation significantly easier.
