Murupara Callout

Murupara Callout

The Rotorua based BayTrust Rescue helicopter was dispatched to Murupara at 130pm to attend to a local 22yr old female who had fallen down some stairs at home. Local St John and Fire Crews stabilised the lady and transported her to the local helipad. The helicopter was used due to the nature of her injuries and the time to get back to a suitable hospital. She was taken to Rotorua Hospital for further treatment.

Philips Search and Rescue Trust is a charitable organisation, operating rescue helicopters throughout the Central North Island.
