Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family following the sad news of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Many of our members were inspired to enjoy the outdoors through the DofE Award. The picture shows members meeting the Duke in 1979. pic.twitter.com/SSTC30CcPB
At 4.56pm yesterday we were requested by NWAS to assist with a 22yo male who had fallen at Tiger’s Clough. The team treated him with pain relief & placed a vacuum splint around the injured ankle, then stretchered him to the waiting ambulance.We wish him a speedy recovery. pic.twitter.com/ZEbrt4vaLT
1/2 From all of us at BMRT we would just like to thank every one of you that donated to us this weekend. It was a hard decision for us not to do our usual Easter meet and great around Rivington but for the safety of our team members, we decided against it. pic.twitter.com/xkNOo8equX
It's been a busy start to 2021 for the team. Three months in & we are already on our way to more callouts than we had last year. If you can support us in our work, please feel free to donate via boltonmrt.enthuse.com/#!/ #BoltonMRT #Volunteers #Donate #Rescues #BeenBusy pic.twitter.com/KhDxLT92N8
1/ Today is usually a busy and important day for the team. With so many people visiting the Rivington area in particular, we would usually have our displays set up around the area to help educate people about outdoor safety. pic.twitter.com/0iKNZaqWU1

❓ Did you know that moorland and wildfires can be started in a number of ways? Sadly, many are started deliberately, however, some can break out by people being careless with barbecues, campfires or not disposing of cigarettes properly 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WDHdEHFcXA

Incident 43/2008
A Team Landrover Ambulance, already in the area – see previous story, relocating to a different holding point, chanced upon a tragic incident today.
A male out walking in the Lever Park area of Rivington, in the company of two other persons, suffered a collapse.
This collapse was witnessed by many people, some of whom commenced CPR at the direction of an NWAS (GMA) Emergency Dispatcher, whilst an ambulance was responding to the location, within the track network at the rear of Rivington & Blackrod High School.
It was at this point that our vehicle passed by and was flagged down to immediately assist.
CPR and Oxygen was administered with two teenage passersby who had witnessed the collapse, continuing their CPR alongside our Team members.
Shortly after this, the responding NWAS (GMA) Ambulance arrived and CPR continued in the rear of the Ambulance, en route to Royal Bolton Hospital. One of our members travelled in the Ambulance assisting the paramedic with continuing CPR.
Lancashire Constabulary and Greater Manchester Police Officers also attended this sad incident.
It is with regret that we report the male involved had suffered a fatal collapse and the Teams condolences are expressed here.
Special mention should be made of all the members of public who assisted with this incident, particularly previous to our arrival and that of the Ambulance. Two teenage boys in particular deserve all praise for the help they rendered.
