At 15:55 yesterday we were contacted by @NWAmbulance who were requesting our assistance near Rivington Pike. A three year old boy was out walking with his family just below the Pike tower when he was struck by a male riding a mountian bike. Continued... facebook.com/58756182794365…
As we enter further easing of restrictions this weekend the @NWAmbulance have enhanced their plans to ensure we can respond to the increase in demand we will face. Please be careful, and remember we are still dealing with COVID-19. #SaveLives
How many other countries have unarmed officers running towards knife wielding killers. British Police really are quite remarkable when you stop to think about that.

Incident 14/2017 – Reported Crashed Air Balloon
At 13:08 today the team was contacted by the North West Ambulance Service to respond to a potential balloon crash in the vicinity of Darwen Moor.
A member of the public had seen a balloon descend quickly from the opposite side of Darwen and had alerted the emergency services.
Team member Paul Brain was the first person at the rendezvous point at the Sunnyhurst Inn, meeting up with the assembled Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service appliances and NWAS HART team, along with the informant who had reported the crash. Whilst a better idea of the potential crash site was being ascertained, one of the Lancashire Fire & Rescue firefighters found the landing site and confirmed with the balloon pilot it had been a controlled landing and there were no injuries.
The responding Mountain Rescue LandRovers were stood down.
In total 20 Bolton Team Members were responding to this incident. 5 Mountain Rescue Team Members were also responding from Rossendale & Pendle Mountain Rescue Team.
This is another example of multi-agency working with the North West Ambulance Service, HART, Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service, the North West Air Ambulance and National Police Air Service all involved in this incident.
