The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is assisting colleagues from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service with moving an unwell individual from a property in Newport this morning (Friday).
1 appliance and an Aerial Ladder Platform – both from Newport – are currently on scene at Castle Road.
The incident began at around 08:20 following a request from the ambulance service.
It’s understood that the emergency services are working to extricate someone from a residential property through a window.
The one-way street is currently closed to all traffic, with motorists being diverted locally.
Reminds me of the dormouse story yesterday.
I saw them during the school run with the massive engine with the huge telescopic arm & platform on it, looked a tricky rescue as Castle Road is narrow & the engine only just fitted!
