UK Coastguard requested the launch of our D Class to a casualty with a suspected dislocated fractured ankle in the water at the Ogmore River. Our volunteer crew (including an off duty paramedic) provided first aid and transferred the casualty up the river to a more accessible location. The crew were met by the team from Llantwit Major Coastguard, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and Welsh Ambulance Service Paramedics. The paramedics treated the casualty at the scene before all land based teams transferred the casualty into the ambulance for transfer to hospital.
