Many of the team take holiday this week from their full time jobs to be about and help during the week.
The words ..... probably see you later were going to come true.
The team started to gather ready for the procession when they were asked to help with a medical incident on Shore Road. The event ambulance team arrived and took over.
As that incident was being resolved we were made aware of another medical incident and again the team stepped in to assist. The St Albans Coastguard just arriving in town were requested to assist take the male to the local hospital but as that was on route an ambulance arrived to deal.
The procession started and we were all enjoying the crowd when some youths decided to start throwing plastic bottles at our vehicles. They weren't expecting the team to go and give them some advice on how to spend the rest of their day.
Half way round we were tasked to Studland to assist South Western Ambulance with a medical incident. The team arrived and set up a landing site for the Coastguard helicopter which was then cancelled to allow the air ambulance to attend. A male had been taken ill whilst walking the northern boundary, due to his condition the helicopter was required so he could be flown to Bournemouth hospital.
The Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance ( the usual yellow one is away for maintenance.)
Before the team left they were tasked to search the South side of the harbour entrance for a possible missing male before another tasking of some clothing left on the beach. The team quickly located the owner who confirmed all was well.
Finally everyone got back to the Carnival just before 7pm
