On Sunday 5th September Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team (CVSRT) were on hand to provide safety cover as the Halifax Rotary Club welcomed visitors to Castle Carr.
The main event of the day was the running of the fountains, one of the highest gravity fed in Europe, which typically can only be seen once a year.
During the day CVSRT were called upon to assist a lady who had become unwell whilst walking through the castle ruins.
Medical care was provided and the casualty was transported in a team vehicle from the castle ruins to the gate house for transfer to the Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) ambulance.
We wish the casualty a speedy recovery.
