A hasty party was deployed from base with case care equipment to locate the group of 4 while further TMs gathered with additional TRR and stretcher equipment. Due to the nature of the terrain and number of casualties Rescue 936 was requested but had been committed elsewhere so Rescue 912 from Humberside was tasked.
