0:00:02 > 0:00:06'These wannabe heroes are working together to perform daring rescues.'
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Over the toughest terrain...
0:00:20 > 0:00:23..experiencing the highs...
0:00:24 > 0:00:25..and the lows.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31'There's a new emergency crew in town.'
0:00:34 > 0:00:37I'm Rav Wilding and this is Hero Squad.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42'Six ordinary school kids.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47'Their mission - to learn how to save lives.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54'But do they have what it takes to become real-life heroes?
0:00:58 > 0:01:03'Last time, I really turned up the heat on the cadets.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05'They were transformed into fearless firefighters
0:01:05 > 0:01:09'and came face to face with some ferocious flames.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11'In an action-packed rescue,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15'squad leader Lily overcame her fear of the dark.'
0:01:15 > 0:01:17We have a casualty. Over.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21'And it was all hands to the pump for magnificent Myles.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- 'But after a shaky start...' - Oh, no. That's scary.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- '..it was Josh that finished in a blaze of glory.'- Come on!
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Today the skies really are the limit for the Hero Squad cadets.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40They're teaming up with the elite medical staff of London's Air Ambulance.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46'In just 24 hours, they'll be responding to a major Hero Squad emergency.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49'A builder has fallen from a high platform.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54'He needs vital medical attention and he needs it fast.'
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Nearly 5,000 999 calls are made in the capital every single day
0:01:58 > 0:02:02and the most serious medical emergencies are handled
0:02:02 > 0:02:04by London's Air Ambulance Service.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11'Using a twin-engine helicopter and a fleet of high-powered rapid-response cars,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15'its team of top doctors and paramedics
0:02:15 > 0:02:20'can deliver advanced medical care to the nation's capital at a moment's notice.'
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Cadets, welcome to the Royal London Hospital.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30We are currently 19 floors up, right at the top.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Probably one of the most unusual places we've been to on Hero Squad.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36You're about to meet your mentor, and I can promise you,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38he will not be getting stuck in traffic.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Morning!- Good morning, cadets.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59- ALL: Morning.- My name's Dr Gareth Davies from London's Air Ambulance and I'm going to be your mentor.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07'Dr Gareth Davies has been a key member of London's Air Ambulance
0:03:07 > 0:03:10'for over 20 years and his medical expertise
0:03:10 > 0:03:13'has helped save thousands of lives.'
0:03:15 > 0:03:18When I get into the helicopter, my heart is racing,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21my head is absolutely buzzing, I don't know what we're going to see
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and I know I might be about to save someone's life.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27When the helicopter came in and landed
0:03:27 > 0:03:30and our mentor jumped out, it was really, really exciting.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35When Gareth came down the ramp, he really did look like a hero
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and someone who saves lives nearly every day.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I'm really looking forward to working with the Air Ambulance
0:03:43 > 0:03:45cos I want to be a paramedic when I'm older,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48so this'll be a really good experience for me.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57'It's time for the cadets to kit up,
0:03:57 > 0:04:02'so I've ordered six new flight suits in junior sizes.'
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- That is so cool! - London Air Ambulance Cadet.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- That is epic!- That is amazing.
0:04:10 > 0:04:16'And if they think these are cool, just wait until they check out this thing at close range.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20'Giving them the lowdown is Dave Rolf, one of the four pilots
0:04:20 > 0:04:26'whose job it is to get Gareth and his team to the scene of an accident in the quickest possible time.'
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Hi. Good morning, guys. This is our helicopter.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33We usually travel at 150 miles an hour when we're going to a job.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35ALL GASP
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Because we're going in a straight line we can get to most places much quicker than a car.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42In fact, we can get to most places within the M25 within about 13 minutes.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Wow.- Where would you land when you had to go to a rescue?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I would just pick the nearest suitable space,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52ideally as close to the patient as possible, and then we'll land there.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56But there's no predefined places, we will just go and find the best place at the time.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Might be the road.- Yes. - Sometimes playgrounds.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Yes.- Schools.- Yep. - Sometimes tennis courts.- Yep.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05We've got permission to land pretty much anywhere in London.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10'Hearing this will be of particular interest to Maria.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14'Not only does she live smack bang in the middle of London,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17'but she's also passionate about becoming a paramedic.'
0:05:17 > 0:05:21The thing that I want to learn the most from the emergency rescues services
0:05:21 > 0:05:26is being in their shoes and doing what they do every day for a living,
0:05:26 > 0:05:33and hopefully inspire people to know that if we were ever in an emergency situation, they'll be there.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38'Thankfully, most people will never need the services of London's Air Ambulance.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43'For those that do, the helicopter is capable of carrying them straight to hospital.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48'But its most important purpose is to take the medical team to the patient.'
0:05:48 > 0:05:51What we try and do is take everything that's in the hospital,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53all of the medicines and treatments,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55out to the scene of the car crash.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00So only now and again do we actually put the patient in the helicopter and bring them back to hospital.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04This is, in fact, a mobile A&E unit.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08'And it's time for the cadets to take a look inside.'
0:06:09 > 0:06:12One thing that you need when you're very, very poorly
0:06:12 > 0:06:15is oxygen.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18So this is a cylinder of oxygen.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23With patients who've got injuries to their chest or their lungs and their lungs have collapsed,
0:06:23 > 0:06:28this allows us to help them with their breathing and top up their oxygen levels.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33'As well as oxygen, the helicopter carries packs of fresh blood, a heart monitor...'
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Lily, give us your finger.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40If we pop that on there, we'll be able to tell just how much oxygen Lily's got in her blood.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42'..and even a portable life-support machine.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47'And it's got some pretty impressive equipment up front, too.'
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- It's like a video game.- Yeah. - I can't believe we're sitting in a helicopter.- I know.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Wow. Four cadets having a lesson in the back by Dr Gareth,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58and Maria and Josh are in the driving seat
0:06:58 > 0:07:02of that 150 mile an hour helicopter.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06'I think it's fair to say that they're impressed,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10'and tomorrow, they'll find out just how important this airborne ambulance really is
0:07:10 > 0:07:14'when they're called upon to assist a seriously injured builder.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17'He's tripped and fallen from a six-metre scaffolding rig
0:07:17 > 0:07:20'and needs urgent medical attention.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23'The cadets don't know it yet, but two of them
0:07:23 > 0:07:27'will actually be travelling to the incident scene in the helicopter itself.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31'Time to head inside and break the good news.'
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You've all seen the aircraft now. What do you think of it?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Great.- Amazing. - Pretty special, eh?- ALL: Yeah.
0:07:36 > 0:07:42Well, tomorrow, four of you will be attending the Hero Squad rescue
0:07:42 > 0:07:46in the Air Ambulance's rapid response cars.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49OK? But I count six cadets.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53So that means two of you will be travelling in style...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- SHE SQUEALS - ..with Gareth
0:07:56 > 0:07:59on board the Air Ambulance.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- What do you think about that?- Great!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06'To help me decide which cadets will get to fly,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08'I'm setting them a challenge.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10'When an emergency call comes in,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14'Dr Gareth drops whatever he's doing and heads straight for the helicopter.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17'He needs to remain calm
0:08:17 > 0:08:19'but he also needs to be quick.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25'It's his aim to be in his seat with his helmet on and his seatbelt fastened in under two minutes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28'And that's exactly what I expect from the cadets.'
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- First two, Kyra and Josh, are you ready?- Yes.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Gareth, the first two are ready, it's Kyra and Josh.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37In three, two, one, go!
0:08:39 > 0:08:41'It's a steady start from the first team.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47'But now they're outside, they're really picking up the pace.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56'They've made it to the helicopter in good time.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06'But it looks like Josh is struggling with his helmet.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09'And even though she wants to, Kyra can't help him.'
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I can't reach.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Secure.- Secure.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Good.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20'Gareth's happy and Kyra and Josh have completed the challenge
0:09:20 > 0:09:23'in an impressive 1 minute and 40 seconds.'
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- We did pretty well as a team. - We did quite well.- We helped each other, encouraged each other
0:09:28 > 0:09:30and hopefully we might get to go on the helicopter tomorrow.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35'Standing in the way of their fantastic flight opportunity is Maria and Lily.'
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Go!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41'It looks like a slower start from these two.' That's the competition.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47'But suddenly Maria finds a burst of energy and she's off,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49'leaving even Lily in her dust.'
0:09:50 > 0:09:52That's it, come on. Quick as you can.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56'They're in the helicopter, but they'll need to get those helmets on
0:09:56 > 0:09:58'and get buckled up in double-quick time
0:09:58 > 0:10:02'if they want to be in with a chance of being tomorrow's helicopter heroes.'
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Yeah?- That's it.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Secure!- Secure.
0:10:09 > 0:10:16'It's a fantastic finish and they've knocked an amazing 25 seconds off Kyra and Josh's time.'
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I think we had to be quite fast, and at times we were out of breath,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22but we encouraged each other to carry on.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25'1 minute 15 is the time to beat.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28'But will Sam and Myles be the men to do it?
0:10:32 > 0:10:37'Well, when there's a need for speed, Myles is certainly no slouch.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41'And he's never happier than when he's hitting the slopes.'
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I love doing fast things cos it's really fun
0:10:44 > 0:10:46and it gets your brain thinking really fast.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53OK, Gareth, the next two are Sam and Myles.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56In three, two, one, go!
0:10:57 > 0:11:01'Just as I expected, this dynamic duo aren't hanging around.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07'This is going to be a close call.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18'And now it's time for the tricky bit.'
0:11:20 > 0:11:24That's it, buckle up. That's it. Chin strap.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Keep going, keep going.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Secure.- Secure.- Well done.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35'So, did Sam and Myles move fast enough to steal the seats from Lily and Maria?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37'Well, you'll find out later on.'
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Yeah, I think me and Myles did really well during the challenge.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42We got up the stairs really quickly
0:11:42 > 0:11:46and when we got into the helicopter, we got everything on really quickly.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55'The cadets have learnt the importance of getting into the helicopter quickly,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00'but there's no point in speeding to an accident if you don't know what to do when you get there.'
0:12:00 > 0:12:04When we arrive on scene, we need to think about treating the patient.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07This is where it gets really important, cos what we're going to teach you
0:12:07 > 0:12:11can be the difference between life or death for a patient.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16'There are three key things that Dr Gareth and his team need to assess
0:12:16 > 0:12:19'as soon as they get to a patient, and remembering what they are
0:12:19 > 0:12:22'is as easy as ABC.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26'A stands for airway. If a patient isn't breathing properly,
0:12:26 > 0:12:30'the medic's first job is to make sure they have a clear airway.'
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And this is the little bit of kit that you need to use.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38You put it in upside down and turn and hold it like that.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41'B stands for breathing.'
0:12:41 > 0:12:44If the patient is breathing, we need to help them with extra oxygen,
0:12:44 > 0:12:48so we need to put this on over the patient's mouth
0:12:48 > 0:12:52and clip it on nice and tight, like that.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56'And finally, C stands for circulation.'
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Can you show me where the pulse is? Where are you going to check?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01On there or on your neck.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05So, after A, B and C, we need to get them onto a stretcher.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08'Getting someone onto a stretcher can be tricky,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11'especially if they have a serious back injury.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15'One wrong move here and the patient could end up being paralysed.'
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Ready, brace, roll.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22'This is all about technique and teamwork.'
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Is it in position?- Yep. - Everyone ready? Ready, brace, roll.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Brilliant. OK. So now we just need to do the other side.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Ready, brace, roll.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Whoa.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- OK. And ready, brace... - Watch the tubes.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Now, we went down a bit quick there.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46If that was a real patient, you could've paralysed him.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51'In this job, even the smallest mistake can have life-changing consequences.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55'The cadets really need to up their concentration levels now,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58'because Gareth's going to show them how to put a splint on a broken leg.'
0:13:58 > 0:14:03This blue bit gets put on the thigh... like this.
0:14:03 > 0:14:09And now we have to put this on the foot, like that. OK?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- So, guys, do you think you can do it? - ALL: Yeah.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Well, I think we'd better find out, then. We've got two more simulated casualties waiting for you,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19so let's see how you get on.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21'The cadets get straight to work.'
0:14:21 > 0:14:24We've got a very weak pulse.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26'Kyra's quick to clear an airway.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30'And this it's on with an oxygen mask.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34'Meanwhile, the other team are making short work of the splint.'
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Then that needs to be slotted through that.- Perfect.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41'And finally, it's time for the all-important stretcher manoeuvre.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45'Let's hope the cadets handle their patient with a little more care this time.'
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Ready, brace, lift.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Same time, same time.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Ready, brace, down.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55'That's much better. Well done, cadets.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06'The cadets' transformation from ordinary school kids
0:15:06 > 0:15:10'into an Air Ambulance crew is almost complete.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14'They've come through their helicopter training with flying colours.'
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- It's like a video game.- Yeah.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21'And mastered the art of some critical medical procedures.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25'Tomorrow they'll need to put all of their training into practice
0:15:25 > 0:15:27'when they're called upon to offer vital assistance
0:15:27 > 0:15:30'to a Hero Squad casualty.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38'But first, mentor Gareth and I need to pick a squad leader.'
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- So, Gareth, lots of training today. - Yep.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I think you've pushed the cadets. Lots to remember.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46You've been watching them throughout. Who's really shone for you?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Certainly Maria stands out for me.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51She was lightning quick on the challenge.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I mean, she was just streets ahead of even her partner.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58That's good to see. So she was in here, kitted up, helmet on, ready to go before everyone else.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- That's really good to hear. - I thought so.- Anyone else?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Sam. I thought Sam has done really well throughout the day.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I think he gets the importance of the log roll and things.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- It needs strong leadership, particularly that piece. - Leadership and teamwork.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- I think Josh has done quite well. - Absolutely.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Josh, again, asking the right questions, really diligent,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23went back time and time again to get the bits on the mannequin right
0:16:23 > 0:16:27and the pieces of equipment, so, yeah, I think he'd be a good contender.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31OK, cadets, well done today. Lots of information to take in,
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I know that, and you've all done very well. Gareth's impressed and I certainly am.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38And we've decided that the person that we think should be in charge
0:16:38 > 0:16:41of a tough challenge tomorrow is...
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- ..Maria. - THEY CLAP
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Come on, Maria, give me your arm.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Congratulations.- Thank you. - You've done so well today, Maria.
0:16:59 > 0:17:05- You were by far the quickest on that challenge, you know?- Thank you. - Yeah, by quite some distance.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09'Maria and Lily were the clear leaders when it came to the helicopter scramble.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13'In fact, they were a whole ten seconds faster than Sam and Myles,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16'who clocked in with an impressive performance of their own
0:17:16 > 0:17:20'at just 1 minute and 25 seconds.'
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Now, Maria, earlier on, I said that not one but two people
0:17:24 > 0:17:30would be arriving to the rescue scene in the helicopter tomorrow.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32You're one.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34You are now going to be asked
0:17:34 > 0:17:37who the other person is going to be.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I think I'm going to choose...
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- ..Lily.- So that's your decision? - Yeah.- OK.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Lily and Maria, you'll be flying. The other four, you'll be racing to the scene in the response cars.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Congratulations today, you've all worked really hard.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57When I had to choose who would be flying in the helicopter with me,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00it was a really hard decision and it was between Sam and Lily,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04because I think they did just a little bit more than everyone else.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get to go in the helicopter,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09but I think as Lily and Maria were the fastest team,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I think they deserved to go in the helicopter.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16'Fancy taking part in a daring rescue at the touch of a button?
0:18:16 > 0:18:21'Head to the CBBC website and play the Hero Squad game.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30'Early the next day in London, Myles, Kyra, Josh and Sam
0:18:30 > 0:18:33'are on call in the rapid response cars.
0:18:34 > 0:18:40'And Maria and Lily are about to take to the sky in Helimed 27.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46'Its first trip of the morning is from its overnight hangar
0:18:46 > 0:18:49'to the helipad on top of the Royal London Hospital.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55'And speaking of first trips, flying in a helicopter is a whole new experience
0:18:55 > 0:18:58'for Hero Squad cadets Maria and Lily.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04'Conditions are good today, so the flight should only take around 12 minutes.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12'Meanwhile, on the other side of the city,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16'a builder is working on the top of a six-metre-tall scaffolding rig
0:19:16 > 0:19:18'when he trips and falls.
0:19:20 > 0:19:26'In a matter of seconds, a routine maintenance job has turned into a major medical emergency.'
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- Dave!- 'So one of his colleagues dials 999.'
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Quick, call an ambulance! Quick! Do it!
0:19:32 > 0:19:36'A fall from this height can result in serious head and back injuries,
0:19:36 > 0:19:42'so the London's Air Ambulance team is automatically assigned to the incident.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46'The helicopter hasn't even reached the hospital when the call comes in.'
0:19:46 > 0:19:48We received a call
0:19:48 > 0:19:53of an accident where someone has fallen off some scaffolding.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58'The pilot changes his course and heads straight for the scene of the accident.'
0:20:01 > 0:20:03SIREN WAILS
0:20:03 > 0:20:06'The rapid response cars are scrambled, too,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10'and they speed to the incident with blue lights and sirens wailing.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14'Even though they were much nearer to the scene of the accident than the helicopter,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17'there was only ever going to be one winner in this race.'
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Here comes the Air Ambulance with Maria and Lily on board!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29'The helicopter has landed just a few hundred metres away from the casualty
0:20:29 > 0:20:34'and Maria and Lily are about to get their first look at the situation.'
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- OK, what's your name?- Steven. - Steven and...- Sean.- Sean.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41OK, so, how long ago did this incident happen?
0:20:41 > 0:20:46- About 20 minutes, 15, 20 minutes. - He's snoring. That means we need the tube.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51'Just minutes later, the rapid response vehicles are on the scene.'
0:20:51 > 0:20:52SIREN WAILS
0:20:52 > 0:20:55'And Maria's quick to organise her team.'
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Kyra, I'd like you to check the circulation.- OK.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04And Myles, I'd like you to put the breathing mask on him.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Josh, I'd like you to check for any broken bones.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10And Sam, I'd like you to ask the witnesses all the questions
0:21:10 > 0:21:13and find out the relevant information.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15When I find the broke bone, should I put the splint on it or not?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I'd like you to make sure everyone knows...
0:21:18 > 0:21:22'Speed is crucial here and the cadets aren't hanging around.'
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Good leadership from Maria, as well. She's really taking charge of this, isn't she?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28She's looking at everyone's roles, seeing what they're doing.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Josh, have you checked for any broken bones?- Yeah.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- Sam, have you found out relevant information?- Yeah. His head, he banged it when he fell down.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41He's fallen from the top there and we think he's got a broken thigh,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- so we need to splint his leg. I'm going to help Josh splint his thigh. - OK.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49'A suspected broken thigh bone calls for a medical splint.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52'This is something that the cadets should be very familiar with
0:21:52 > 0:21:55'after yesterday's training. And with the pressure really on,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58'I just hope they can remember how to put it together.'
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Then you lift it up. OK.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Is that OK, Maria?- Yep.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07'The cadets were clearly paying attention in training
0:22:07 > 0:22:10'and they've soon got the casualty's leg in a splint.'
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You guys, he's in a lot of pain.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17We need to try and get him on fast and smoothly.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24We're going to do the next part. We're going to put him onto the stretcher, guys.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29SIREN APPROACHES
0:22:29 > 0:22:32'A land ambulance has now arrived on the scene.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35'This will be used to carry the casualty to hospital,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38'meaning the helicopter can now prepare to leave.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40'It's played a crucial part in the rescue.
0:22:40 > 0:22:47'But right now, it's all about the cadets and the life-saving skills they were taught yesterday.'
0:22:47 > 0:22:52That is really impressive. What they're doing is, they're getting the stretcher ready for the next move,
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- which is the log roll. So that really shows they listened yesterday. - Absolutely.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- And they're putting all of it into action.- It's all being put into practice now.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- Who's supporting the head? Kyra? - I'll support the head.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Kyra's supporting the head. Lily's doing this.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Josh is making sure the leg's all right. Sam, you're doing arms.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- And Myles, you're keeping the oxygen...- Yeah.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18'This is incredible. Despite being just 12 and 13 years old,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21'the cadets are in complete control of the situation.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26'But it's absolutely crucial that they perform the next step correctly.'
0:23:26 > 0:23:30If they don't do this properly, this is when you can render a patient paralysed
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- and leave them in a wheelchair. - Serious stuff.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35'It's now time to get the patient onto the stretcher.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40'Tight teamwork and excellent communication will be vital here.'
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I'm going to shout the commands. Are you ready?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Ready, brace, lift!- All together.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Ready, brace, down!
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Nice and slowly. - Well done, everybody.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56'Perfectly done. That was a move that even Dr Gareth would be proud of.'
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- We're just going to put him now on the stretcher.- OK.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04And once he's on the stretcher, we are going to put him into the ambulance, OK?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07One, two, three, lift!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Have you got it? - Nice and slowly, guys.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Onto the stretcher.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Nice and slowly.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18'The cadets are now so focused on getting their patient into the ambulance
0:24:18 > 0:24:22'that they barely even notice Helimed 27 leaving.'
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Nice and safe there. - Nice and slowly. Kyra, keep reassuring the casualty.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Keep squeezing my hand, Dave. - We need to...
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Can we use the ramp?- Yep. - Well done, everybody.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40It's going to be OK, Dave. You're on your way to hospital now.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Good job, everyone. Well done, everyone.- Yay!
0:24:44 > 0:24:49See how fast we worked, how quick? We've already got him to the ambulance
0:24:49 > 0:24:51cos we all worked as a team, so well done, everyone.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55SIREN WAILS
0:25:01 > 0:25:03'In less than 48 hours,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06'the Hero Squad cadets have transformed themselves
0:25:06 > 0:25:09'into a team of top emergency medics.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15'Their rapid response and professional approach to casualty care has really impressed me
0:25:15 > 0:25:20'and I can't wait to hear what our real-life helicopter hero has got to say.'
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I thought it was absolutely stunning. I was stood at the edge
0:25:22 > 0:25:26watching this all unfold, and quite literally,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30I think if we had not been there, the cadets would've managed this patient perfectly.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34They've had done all the treatments and got him in the back of the ambulance and got him to hospital.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I couldn't be more proud. It was fantastic.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41And that is coming from a doctor with 20 years experience.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- OK, cadets, how do you think that went?- ALL: Really well.- Enjoy that?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- ALL: Yeah.- We worked as a team. - Yeah, some good teamwork there.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- You all worked really, really well. - Yeah, listen, I thought it was a fantastic job.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I felt really proud of what you did.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03But we do have to choose a hero of the day.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07But it's been such a tough decision for Gareth and I to make.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11So in the end, Gareth has decided
0:26:11 > 0:26:13that the hero of the day should be...
0:26:21 > 0:26:25All of you. THEY CHEER
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Congratulations.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31For this challenge, we just couldn't split it. Well done.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35THEY CHEER
0:26:35 > 0:26:39'And a top team performance deserves an extra-special treat.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43'So I've arranged for the cadets to see London from the sky
0:26:43 > 0:26:45'for one last time.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50'And this time, there's not a helicopter in sight.'
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I feel really pleased with myself and the team
0:26:52 > 0:26:56cos I think the rescue went really well and really quickly.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Yeah, there's the Olympic stadium.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04The helicopter ride was absolutely amazing.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07It's got to be one of the best experiences of my life
0:27:07 > 0:27:11and I wish I could fly in it again.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. It looks really cool.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I think the work that people like Dr Gareth do is really important.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22It can be really stressful at times, but I think it's a great job
0:27:22 > 0:27:25and now I definitely want to be an air paramedic.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27ALL: Hero Squad!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30THEY CHEER
0:27:30 > 0:27:33'In the cadets' next challenge,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36'they'll be trailing over some tough terrain
0:27:36 > 0:27:38'before heading to the hills to assist an injured climber.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42'Then they'll need a knack for knots and a head for heights
0:27:42 > 0:27:48'as they take part in a daring and demanding rock-face rescue.'
