Street, Bedminster
A 17-year old man
had to be carried out of a first floor window by firefighters using
the hydraulic platform when he suffered suspected neck and back
injuries during a martial arts class.
With the gym on
the first floor of the building, ambulance crews found the
building’s narrow stairs made it difficult to carry the man out of
the building on a spinal board.
Firefighters
directed the hydraulic platform to a first floor window and
assisted paramedics in lifting the casualty out of the building. He
was then taken to hospital.
