A couple had been walking on the paths around Chinley.  They were walking through some fields below Hayfield Road when the man started to suffer symptoms of a heart attack.

An EMAS ambulance crew attended scene and confirmed that he was having a heart attack, but he was now stable.  They needed to transport him to hospital, but didn’t want him to walk in case this brought the symptoms on again.

We were asked to attend to help carry him on our stretcher to the ambulance.  Fortunately we were able to find a route through the fields to Adlers Farm.  The ambulance was able to drive round to this location to allow us to carry out a hand over.

We would like to thank the residents of Adlers farm for their cooperation in allowing our vehicles to access the area.
