Arran RNLI’s busy year continued with its 20th call-out after the crew attended two medical emergency evacuations on Holy Island over the last week.
The two call-outs, only days apart, took place at 5.15pm on Wednesday October 18 and at 12.10pm on Saturday October 21, when Arran RNLI’s inshore lifeboat crew assembled and launched the inshore lifeboat Rachel Hedderwick to Holy Isle.
On Wednesday the crew had to evacuate a casualty who had injured their hand. The casualty was quickly brought back to Lamlash to waiting paramedics for treatment. On Saturday the crew had to launch in treacherous conditions to treat a casualty with a suspected broken ankle on the south end of Holy Isle. The Arran RNLI crew went ashore and assessed the casualty, arranging for their evacuation by Rescue 999 search and rescue helicopter which transferred them swiftly to Crosshouse hospital.
