0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today on Real Rescues... A fire burns on the 12th floor of university accommodation.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08Guys, I need you all out the way, over there.

0:00:08 > 0:00:12A student fears her friend could still be inside.

0:00:19 > 0:00:23A distraught 999 call after a toddler plunges 20 feet.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30It's all happened too quickly for the boy's father.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34I don't think I will forgive myself for leaving the window open.

0:00:35 > 0:00:40And a pony is trapped six feet down after a muddy sinkhole opens up beneath it.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Stay where you are a minute. He's stressing on you.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hello and welcome to Real Rescues

0:01:03 > 0:01:07and to the work of Britain's emergency services.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Let's get started. In the middle of the night, a high-rise building has caught fire

0:01:10 > 0:01:12and inside are hundreds of young people.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15With the fire alarm screeching and people flooding out,

0:01:15 > 0:01:19firefighters have to work out how many people are still inside.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Hampshire Fire and Rescue Control Room...

0:01:24 > 0:01:28An emergency call has come in from a high-rise building.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46It's student accommodation, a large block of flats.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50It's potentially a very difficult fire to tackle.

0:01:51 > 0:01:57Green Watch from St Mary's Station is one of the first crews on scene.

0:02:00 > 0:02:05It's the early hours of the morning and hundreds of students are milling around in their night clothes.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Accounting for all the students is going to be a problem.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Entering the building has major risks.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19There's no sign of smoke from the outside,

0:02:19 > 0:02:22but it's reported that a fire is raging on the 12th floor.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26The students are still dazed and are too close to the building.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Watch manager Sean Foster secures the area.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Guys, I need you all out the way, over there.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Guys, get out of there!

0:02:34 > 0:02:35Now the students are clear,

0:02:35 > 0:02:40the first job is to get water to the dry riser...

0:02:40 > 0:02:45..a pipe that can be used to pump water to every floor of the building.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Crew manager Steve Evans and three firefighters are first inside.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06They can't risk using the lift and have to heave their heavy kit up 12 flights of stairs.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12As they arrive on the landing,

0:03:12 > 0:03:14they confirm the fire is in flat 1201.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18Heavy smoke is already escaping into the corridor.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21They need breathing apparatus before they can go any nearer.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Alex Spreadbury and Charlie Quinn get kitted up.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32They'll make up the first BA Team.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34It's their job to enter the burning flat.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41They complete their final checks.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Their names are registered and so is the time on the control board by Rich Green.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48It's a routine part of maintaining safety.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51While they wait for the water jets to be set up,

0:03:51 > 0:03:54they want to get a look at what they might be up against.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59With a thermal imaging camera, they can detect heat behind the door of the flat.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04We don't know how long the fire's been burning in that compartment,

0:04:04 > 0:04:08so, basically, you're introducing oxygen into a compartment

0:04:08 > 0:04:11that hasn't had oxygen for an unknown amount of time,

0:04:11 > 0:04:15so by introducing that oxygen into the compartment, you could cause a backdraft,

0:04:15 > 0:04:19so we're using techniques when we're opening the door

0:04:19 > 0:04:21to check the door, check what's coming out of the door.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25As Alex and Charlie measure the heat,

0:04:25 > 0:04:30outside the building, there's suddenly news from one of the students.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33She can't get hold of her flatmate.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Is someone in 1202? Is there someone in there still?

0:04:41 > 0:04:46..priorities change as the firefighters' search for the student intensifies.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56PHONE RINGS

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Ambulance Service.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02It's a busy Saturday evening in the South Western Ambulance call centre in Exeter.

0:05:02 > 0:05:07Ali Newcombe has just taken a 999 call from a worried grandmother.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20The Fernando family has been enjoying a day in the sun,

0:05:20 > 0:05:24but it's the children's bedtime and, suddenly, everything changes.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28I went to get their bedtime story, they went in to go and play with their dad

0:05:28 > 0:05:31and that's when it all happened.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Dad Anthony has no idea that the bedroom window is open.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39I thought the window was shut. I couldn't see the window because of the curtain,

0:05:39 > 0:05:42we pulled the curtain because the sun was coming through.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Suddenly Jay said, "Daddy, Leo's outside."

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Anthony saw him hanging onto the window sill for a second.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53He opened the curtain, I can see the fingers,

0:05:53 > 0:05:57and... that's it, he gone.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I heard Anthony scream, "Leo!"

0:05:59 > 0:06:03I got closer to the bedroom and I heard him screaming, "Oh, my God!"

0:06:03 > 0:06:08As I opened the bedroom door, he shouted, "He's fallen out the window."

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Two-year-old Leo has plummeted 20 feet

0:06:10 > 0:06:13onto the concrete patio below.

0:06:13 > 0:06:18His terrified mum Emma shouts to her own mother to dial 999.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22My heart was in my mouth and I ran straight down the stairs shouting, "Phone an ambulance!"

0:06:39 > 0:06:44I could hear him crying and that's all I could really hear.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47To call-handler Ali, the sound of crying is a good sign.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm a mum and you're immediately sure that the worst has not happened.

0:06:56 > 0:07:03Ali's advice not to move Leo is to prevent exacerbating any hidden spinal or neck injuries,

0:07:03 > 0:07:04but it's too late.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08I didn't even think about not moving him, or any broken bones,

0:07:08 > 0:07:10I just - mother's instinct - grabbed him

0:07:10 > 0:07:12and ran back upstairs.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15He had blood coming out of his nose

0:07:15 > 0:07:18and the blood was all down his face and in his eyes.

0:07:18 > 0:07:24Paramedic Lee Hilton is the first person to assess Leo's injuries.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27He had this lump on his forehead, which was a soft tissue swelling.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30There was no evidence to suggest a skull fracture.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34His potential of injuries, aside from having a brain injury,

0:07:34 > 0:07:38would've been neck, back injuries, pelvic, abdominal or chest injuries.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43Incredibly, test results at the hospital were nothing but good news.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44All the scans were clear.

0:07:44 > 0:07:49There was no evidence of any brain injury, no evidence of bleeding,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51no evidence of brain swelling,

0:07:51 > 0:07:55and so it did confirm that the only injury was this swelling on his forehead,

0:07:55 > 0:07:58so an incredibly lucky 23 month old.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01The doctors and nurses were astounded.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05They couldn't believe that he hadn't had a serious injury at all.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09So, how did Leo survive a fall of over 20 feet?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11It was mentioned to us -

0:08:11 > 0:08:13and I think it was important - that because he wasn't frightened,

0:08:13 > 0:08:18he didn't tense up and he just fell quite floppy.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22And it seems that the inspiration for Leo's unplanned take-off

0:08:22 > 0:08:24may've been his favourite film character.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28TOY BUZZ: "To infinity and beyond!"

0:08:28 > 0:08:31He likes to jump off things and shout "And beyond!"

0:08:31 > 0:08:33He absolutely loves Toy Story.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37Buzz Lightyear's his favourite and his big brother's favourite, as well.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Maybe that was why he jumped out the window. I recall Buzz Lightyear jumping out a window!

0:08:41 > 0:08:45Hopefully, now he knows he can't fly, he won't do it again!

0:08:45 > 0:08:49Leo's now back at home with his very relieved parents,

0:08:49 > 0:08:52who are still haunted by the events of that day.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56When I saw him, I thought he was dead.

0:08:56 > 0:09:02That's something I don't think I'll ever forget.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I don't think I'll ever, I don't know,

0:09:05 > 0:09:08forgive myself for leaving the window open.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11However, Anthony and Emma have made sure

0:09:11 > 0:09:16that Leo won't be tempted to jump to infinity and beyond ever again.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20As soon as we came home, we got double locks put on all the windows.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24We've really taken every measure possible to make sure he's safe now

0:09:24 > 0:09:28and he won't be opening the window again like that.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34In a call centre like this communication is the key,

0:09:34 > 0:09:38but you'd be surprised how many people come through to speak to operators

0:09:38 > 0:09:40who can't necessarily speak.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43If Brigitte is free... Yes.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Did I overhear you saying to someone,

0:09:45 > 0:09:48"If you can't speak, tap the phone." Yes.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53What's going on there? Why would they not be able to speak but still tap the phone.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56There's so many different reasons, but the pros and cons is that

0:09:56 > 0:09:59maybe it's accidental, it's inside your pocket.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01So you might get an accidental 999 call.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Or if they actually can't speak, so it's not safe for them to do so.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10There could be somebody around them, that they just want the police but they just can't speak,

0:10:10 > 0:10:14so we prompt them by saying, "If you're unable to speak, tap the keypad for me."

0:10:14 > 0:10:20That makes sense if someone's terrified. People can go catatonic but still be able to dial a number.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Is there some way you can get a response? What would you ask them to do, tap the keyboard?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Tap the keypad so at least we know they are responding

0:10:27 > 0:10:29and that they still want us to stay on the line,

0:10:29 > 0:10:31so that is the procedure that we would follow.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34OK, so that's if someone's in danger.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38What if someone's ill? Give us an example of a call like that.

0:10:38 > 0:10:43An elderly gentleman called through who was unable to speak, whether for a medical reason or not,

0:10:43 > 0:10:47and his communication was grunting.

0:10:47 > 0:10:52So he did a series of grunts. I was perplexed at the beginning to find out what's going on,

0:10:52 > 0:10:57and, erm, through his grunts,

0:10:57 > 0:11:00we got a location of whereabouts he was in an area

0:11:00 > 0:11:04and I asked, "Are you in a nursing home?" to which case, his grunt changed.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07That's quite clever. It was an acceptance grunt to say yes.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10So you asked closed questions. Closed questions, narrowed it down,

0:11:10 > 0:11:14used Google Maps to try and find a list of nursing homes in that area,

0:11:14 > 0:11:19even to the point of, to describe the nursing home, we went onto Google Maps again,

0:11:19 > 0:11:22so looked at the front and said,

0:11:22 > 0:11:24"Is this what your nursing home looks like from the front?"

0:11:24 > 0:11:27and, again, the acceptance grunt, it's a different kind of grunt.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32I can see that. But why isn't there someone in the home? Why isn't he ringing his alarm?

0:11:32 > 0:11:34As it transpired afterwards, because we don't know that,

0:11:34 > 0:11:38that's not important, I've got to deal with it at that moment in time,

0:11:38 > 0:11:41it was just the fact that you have the panic buttons... Yes.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43..it was too far away,

0:11:43 > 0:11:46but his mobile phone, which he hadn't used before,

0:11:46 > 0:11:49then he dialled 999

0:11:49 > 0:11:52because he was in agony and needed his medication.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55So that was... And you were able to get that to him? Yes.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59If you get a call through and you don't get a response, you'll stay on for a while, then?

0:11:59 > 0:12:02As long as we can, until we can understand, you know...

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Sometimes you can tell whether it is a silent call,

0:12:05 > 0:12:09as in, it's inside someone's phone, but we still have to get in contact with them.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13We still have to remain on the phone as much as we can. That's reassuring.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16If you dial 999, if you're in danger but you can't speak,

0:12:16 > 0:12:18when the operator answers... Yes.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21..if you tap your keyboard, they know that you are in difficulty.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25That's quite interesting to know. Smashing. Thank you very much. You're welcome.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34It's before 6am in Somerset.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38A rescue operation is under way in thick mud to save a 16-year-old horse.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40There's more control on this one.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44The animal, Harvey, is stuck fast. The ground has opened up beneath him.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46There's a fork there if you want it.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Devon and Somerset Fire Service Animal Rescue Team

0:12:49 > 0:12:54are digging out the mud, to try to attach straps.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59An hour has passed since Harvey's owner Phoebe woke up to the sound of other horses whinnying.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01I knew something was wrong immediately.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04As soon as I heard the first neigh, I was bolt upright in bed.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06I jumped out of bed, threw on any clothes

0:13:06 > 0:13:10and just grabbed a torch and ran down to the fields.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15And I couldn't see my horse Harvey and I didn't know where he'd gone

0:13:15 > 0:13:17because it literally was like he'd vanished.

0:13:17 > 0:13:24As I got closer, I sort of saw that there was a massive trench underneath the fence

0:13:24 > 0:13:26and Harvey was just at the bottom of it.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28I could see he was struggling

0:13:28 > 0:13:32and I just presumed that he was struggling to get up

0:13:32 > 0:13:36and he couldn't get up because he'd broken all of his legs or one of his legs or something.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40You could hear his heart thumping so loudly.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42I thought, "OK, he might not have a broken leg

0:13:42 > 0:13:45"but he might die of a heart attack from the stress."

0:13:45 > 0:13:48The rescue plan is to lift Harvey out.

0:13:48 > 0:13:53First, the team from Bridgwater have to get straps underneath.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56But the horse is almost up to its shoulders in mud.

0:13:56 > 0:14:02It's far worse than Incident Commander Mike Cross had expected.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06I was quite shocked and surprised to see it in such a deep hole.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09I was expecting it to be in some mud.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13Looking down into the hole, it's like it's sat on a lump of jelly

0:14:13 > 0:14:15and every time the horse moved,

0:14:15 > 0:14:18the whole ground was floating underneath it.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Before the fire crews could start working around Harvey, he had to be sedated,

0:14:22 > 0:14:25a precarious job for vet Emma Hamilton.

0:14:25 > 0:14:31Hold up. Stay where you are a minute. He's stressing on you.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35'We wouldn't let her into the danger zone, so we gave her the right equipment.'

0:14:35 > 0:14:38We fitted her up with one of our rescue helmets, a harness,

0:14:38 > 0:14:44and when she goes into the hole, we make sure, if anything goes wrong, we can pull her out.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47It's now safe for the fire crews to dig around the animal

0:14:47 > 0:14:50and pass the straps underneath his body.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53The sedation is preventing Harvey from struggling,

0:14:53 > 0:14:58but the animal's weight means he's sinking deeper into the sticky clay.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00We used a probe,

0:15:00 > 0:15:04which is a metal band which pushes under the side of the horse.

0:15:04 > 0:15:09We push it through to the bottom, try and reach it from the other side and pull it through.

0:15:09 > 0:15:14We use that to pull the harness through. They were really struggling to get it through.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18It's slow, difficult work and the team are against the clock.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22Once the sedation runs out, it's too dangerous to be this close to Harvey.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Harvey's head is so close to the bank,

0:15:33 > 0:15:37a towel has been placed over his eye to protect it.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40At last, the straps are in place.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44They need to get Harvey out as soon as possible.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47There's more control on this one.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Do you think we could actually lift the horse?

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Neighbouring farmer Philip is on site.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56He's offered his powerful tractor to lift the animal.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00It's like a mini crane and you can put forks or any attachment on the end.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04On this one, we just had a hook that we could attach our slings to.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07We carry what we call a Hampshire harness.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10This is specially designed by Hampshire Fire and Rescue

0:16:10 > 0:16:15and it's large animal-rescue harness, which makes it really safe.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17It's skilful, precise work.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Farmer Philip can't afford to get too close to the edge.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24The bank is sodden and could collapse under the machine's weight.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Go there!

0:16:26 > 0:16:29The harness is safely connected. The lift can begin.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Carefully, they inch him up.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36Can you come this way? MACHINES DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:16:36 > 0:16:41Only now will they discover the extent of any injuries to his limbs.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45I was just worried, because there must've been such a suction formed on his legs

0:16:45 > 0:16:51that just pulling him up out of it must've been really harsh on his limbs

0:16:51 > 0:16:54and I thought, "If he has got a broken leg, that's going to make it worse."

0:16:54 > 0:16:56We were desperately looking at his legs

0:16:56 > 0:16:59to see if anything was hanging off or anything.

0:16:59 > 0:17:05So far so good. Harvey is not making any attempt to free himself.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop!

0:17:07 > 0:17:11Farmer Philip reverses the tractor away from the hole.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15Once the horse was lifted, it was a bit of a surreal moment

0:17:15 > 0:17:19because you see it coming up in the field, suspended in a harness.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22HORSE WHINNIES

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Hovering over firmer ground, Harvey can now be lowered.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27It's a crucial moment.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30If any of his limbs are broken, he'll not be able to take his own weight.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Normally with horses, when they're sedated,

0:17:32 > 0:17:35they can sort of stumble or fall over,

0:17:35 > 0:17:39and I thought, "If he has got a broken leg, this is when he's going to fall down."

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Everything is now up to Harvey.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52He's standing, but the straps are still bearing most of his weight.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54The vet, again, was on the ball.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58She gave him a prod in the right place to make sure she woke him up!

0:17:58 > 0:18:03Vet Emma can see no obvious injury. It's time to release the straps.

0:18:03 > 0:18:08So he sort of stumbled and everyone was sort of silent, just watching and waiting.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Luckily, he found his feet.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Once the harness was released, it was such a good thing to see.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16He was standing and responding to the owner and the vet.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18It was a good result.

0:18:18 > 0:18:23Vet Emma can now take an even closer look at Harvey's limbs.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27And Phoebe can at last reassure her horse

0:18:27 > 0:18:29after his freak morning accident.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33I think that what must've happened was that the stream at the bottom of the hill

0:18:33 > 0:18:36had sort of eroded in a bit,

0:18:36 > 0:18:40and with the really dry weather and then the torrential downpour,

0:18:40 > 0:18:42it must've weakened the earth

0:18:42 > 0:18:45and he must've been at the wrong place at the wrong time.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52After a good hose down, Harvey is finally free of his muddy ordeal.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55He was just really, really stiff afterwards

0:18:55 > 0:18:58and I think a bit shell-shocked.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01I was terrified that he would have some kind of behavioural problem

0:19:01 > 0:19:05or emotional disorder afterwards,

0:19:05 > 0:19:09but luckily, he seems to be absolutely fine and making a full recovery.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18Coming up on Real Rescues...

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Paramedics treat a man who collapses in front of them.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24The indications are that he could be having a stroke.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25All right, darling? Yeah, fine.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28You just had another little funny episode.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32It's a worrying time for his family.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35And a car crashes into a woman's house

0:19:35 > 0:19:37moments after she walks through the door.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41I was in the office and I just heard a loud bang.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43It was really scary.

0:19:49 > 0:19:54In Southampton, a fire is burning on the 12th floor of a student block of flats.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57A text has just come through from a student off the site.

0:19:57 > 0:20:02She can't get hold of her flatmate and worries that she's still in the building.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09The missing girl lives next to the flat where the fire has broken out.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Is someone in 1202? Is there someone in there still?

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Crew manager Steve Evans has to quickly change priorities.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29We can't concentrate solely on fire-fighting.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31We have to divert some of our resources

0:20:31 > 0:20:33to searching the floor areas.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Water jets have now reached the 12th floor.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39While one team searches for the missing student,

0:20:39 > 0:20:41the first firefighters to go in, Alex and Charlie,

0:20:41 > 0:20:46are now out and have an update on the fire.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51You open the door a little bit, observe what comes out through the crack in the door,

0:20:51 > 0:20:56and that night, just cold but very black smoke came out,

0:20:56 > 0:20:58which indicates it hadn't had oxygen for a long time.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00So then you move into the compartment,

0:21:00 > 0:21:05but introducing water into the compartment to disperse the gases

0:21:05 > 0:21:07and to cool any heat that may be in there.

0:21:07 > 0:21:12Water fills the jet hoses on the 12th floor.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14The second team, with breathing apparatus,

0:21:14 > 0:21:18enters the neighbouring flat to search for the missing student.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Down on level nine, a control centre has been set up.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26Rich Green waits for the news from the BA crew.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29RADIO COMMS

0:21:32 > 0:21:35It's hard to believe that anyone wouldn't hear the fire alarm.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38If there is still someone in the flat,

0:21:38 > 0:21:41they could've been overcome by smoke and unconscious.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45Paramedic Chris Crosby has arrived, ready to give emergency treatment

0:21:45 > 0:21:48IF the missing student is found.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53The BA crew has tracked the fire to the flat kitchen.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58Before they tackle it, they want to be sure no-one is in this flat either.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00I searched the bedrooms before we went in,

0:22:00 > 0:22:03because we knew where the fire compartment was

0:22:03 > 0:22:09so we had a quick look round into the sleeping accommodation before we went to the kitchen.

0:22:13 > 0:22:18With the fire under control, the next job is to clear the flat of toxic smoke.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24Red control to red one, permission granted.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27The girl still hasn't been found.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Steve orders another crew to help.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Request two more BA to the ninth floor.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Red control, go ahead.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Finally, after a very thorough search...

0:22:52 > 0:22:55The missing student emerges.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59Paramedic Chris is going to give her a health check.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02It was Adam Bundle who found the student.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03I went through all the rooms

0:23:03 > 0:23:07and then I went into the first room,

0:23:07 > 0:23:11and, like a gerbil, all tucked up under her blanket, hiding away,

0:23:11 > 0:23:15found the person who was missing, completely oblivious that there was a fire.

0:23:15 > 0:23:22Very deep sleep. I was literally shaking her shoulder and no movement at all.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24And then suddenly, she came round, quite shocked,

0:23:24 > 0:23:27looking at me as if I was her mum waking her up for school.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31The first thing student Elyse does is text her worried flatmate

0:23:31 > 0:23:34to say she's out and safe,

0:23:34 > 0:23:38not quite believing she slept through the alarm.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40It took me a few minutes to adjust

0:23:40 > 0:23:43and to realise that there was someone in my room shaking me awake.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47After the initial realising what was going on,

0:23:47 > 0:23:52it wasn't really particularly scary, it was more trying to find out because it was a bit chaotic,

0:23:52 > 0:23:57so it was very disorientating, is probably the best word for it.

0:23:57 > 0:24:03Inside the neighbouring flat, it's become clear how close to danger Elyse was.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06The fire, on a sofa, had reached an intense heat

0:24:06 > 0:24:11and filled the flat with hot, poisonous gases.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13All right? Cheers, mate, good.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16The team that fought the fire, Alex and Charlie, are cooling off.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Have you got a drink on you?

0:24:18 > 0:24:23The last room we got to was the kitchen, which was the affected room.

0:24:23 > 0:24:29Right in the corner, the farthest part of the flat, was a sofa showing flames,

0:24:29 > 0:24:32slow and smouldering, so lots of smoke rather than lots of heat,

0:24:32 > 0:24:37although the windows have cracked, so it must've got quite hot at one point.

0:24:37 > 0:24:43If the windows had cracked, the fire would've had a real good supply of oxygen

0:24:43 > 0:24:46and it may've become more serious.

0:24:46 > 0:24:51I feel very lucky because it could've ended up a lot worse than it did.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55I wasn't actually in the flat where the fire was. I was next door to it.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58The fire service believe the most likely cause of the blaze

0:24:58 > 0:25:02was a naked flame or discarded cigarette.

0:25:02 > 0:25:07The management company who run the building are going to reiterate fire safety.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09It's been a good job for Green Watch.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12The fire was contained to one room, nobody was harmed

0:25:12 > 0:25:15and the building has survived.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18The students should now all be able to get back to bed

0:25:18 > 0:25:23and catch up on their sleep after their early rude awakening.

0:25:31 > 0:25:37PCs Ray McNaught and Neil Stevenson have just started their shift on the roads of Milton Keynes.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40We just had a report of a two-vehicle collision.

0:25:40 > 0:25:47It's coming in as an injury, but we're not sure until we get there what we're going to find.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's back there.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54It's looking like one car has gone into the back of the other.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Do we need an ambulance?

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Any sign of neck pain could indicate serious injury,

0:26:03 > 0:26:08so the two occupants must keep as still as possible until the ambulance arrives.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10It makes interviewing difficult.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14Don't turn your head. Just keep looking forward.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17You've both got your phones. Is everyone calling you?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20I don't understand how the woman hit us so hard. No.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24She hit us so hard, both our sunglasses flew off!

0:26:24 > 0:26:29It's quite surprising, just any sort of impact to the rear of your car

0:26:29 > 0:26:32will feel like some sort of major impact.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35We'll sort out everything, we'll give you all her details.

0:26:35 > 0:26:40Have you got your licence on you? I do, yeah, the pink part.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Where is it? It's in my bag, down here.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Do you mind me looking in your bag?

0:26:46 > 0:26:51Ooh, nice handbag! My monkey bag! I can't believe this.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54Stay there. Keep looking forward. Don't move too much.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57The ambulance will be here as soon as possible.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00If no-one is hurt in a collision,

0:27:00 > 0:27:03the police may leave drivers to sort it out with their insurance companies.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06But with potential injuries, they need to gather evidence

0:27:06 > 0:27:09in case the crash has to go to court.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13They were saying there was lots of cars and they were wanting to get into the middle lane.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17But should you go up there and try and go in? I don't know.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Do you want some photographs?

0:27:19 > 0:27:21May as well. I'll do them.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26An ambulance has now arrived at the scene.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30The crew want to take a look at the damage to the cars.

0:27:32 > 0:27:38It gives them an idea of the impact and what injuries that could cause.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'll just have a look at the damage.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44The lady said maybe about five miles per hour, possibly.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46TRAFFIC DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:27:46 > 0:27:48The collision happened at crawling pace.

0:27:48 > 0:27:53It's unlikely driver Patricia and daughter Toyah have suffered a major impact,

0:27:53 > 0:27:55but they're complaining of neck pain

0:27:55 > 0:27:59so the paramedics must treat for the worst.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Although both women have been out of the car and walking,

0:28:03 > 0:28:06that doesn't necessarily rule out injury.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09The woman said they'd both been out and walking about

0:28:09 > 0:28:13and then, I think, when the shock or whatever has kicked in,

0:28:13 > 0:28:15they've got back in the car.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19Luckily, they can get both women out without cutting the car.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Do you need an extra pair of hands?

0:28:25 > 0:28:29Do you want to swap so you can start getting some stuff?

0:28:29 > 0:28:32First, Ray has to climb in the backseat with the shopping.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36Ooh, yeah! I'm feeling a bit peckish!

0:28:36 > 0:28:38Is it a birthday, is it?

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Ooh, look.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42There's some crumpets, as well. Who likes crumpets?

0:28:42 > 0:28:46A second ambulance has arrived. Only one patient can be carried in each vehicle.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Everything is ready to get them out of the car.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52Both women now have collars in place.

0:28:52 > 0:28:56They're safe to be moved to a long board, each one adjusted so it's the right fit.

0:29:00 > 0:29:04Patricia has contacted relatives to let them know what's happened.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07My brother lives in Milton Keynes and he's on his way.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09With the board adjusted to the right length,

0:29:09 > 0:29:13they're ready to get Toyah out of the car first.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16Very slowly, she's supported

0:29:16 > 0:29:19as she moves herself out of the seat.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35As soon as she's upright, the board is placed behind her

0:29:35 > 0:29:38and she is carefully lowered backwards.

0:29:41 > 0:29:46All is going to plan, until one of the paramedics suffers some damage.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49You've split Andy's trousers! My trousers have just split!

0:29:49 > 0:29:52I split mine yesterday, don't worry about it!

0:29:53 > 0:29:56Although the mood is light, they take no risks with Toyah's neck.

0:29:56 > 0:30:00Foam wedges are placed on either side to keep it immobilised.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04Are you all right there? Yes. Ready, steady, lift.

0:30:04 > 0:30:09Finally secured, Toyah's lifted to the stretcher and into the ambulance.

0:30:09 > 0:30:14Mum Patricia is still in the car, with Ray still supporting her head.

0:30:14 > 0:30:19Very gently, she swings around and slowly emerges from the driver's seat.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23The board is put into place and she's safely on the ground.

0:30:24 > 0:30:29Ray and Neil replace the shopping that had to be dumped at the side road.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33Are you keeping the cakes? We'd love to.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35As Patricia is secured on the stretcher,

0:30:35 > 0:30:39her brother Alan, a non-driver, arrives.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Your holiday's out the window, girl. No, it isn't.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44The keys are on the dash, Alan. They're what?

0:30:44 > 0:30:48They keys are on the dash. The keys? I know you can't drive it - I ain't going near it!

0:30:48 > 0:30:53No, you need to empty it. I got Martin to bring me down. You need to empty it.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55No problem. There's cakes or something.

0:30:55 > 0:30:59There's loads of stuff. Anyone want a cake?

0:30:59 > 0:31:01She's buying cakes for everybody.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05Patricia and Toyah are off to hospital.

0:31:08 > 0:31:13Ray moves the car to the nearest car park, taking a rather unorthodox route.

0:31:18 > 0:31:19Later,

0:31:19 > 0:31:24Neil gets to see the spectacular results of a car going off-road.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28Look at the crack in the inside edge. Oh, yeah.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34This is Karen, who's an administrator now,

0:31:34 > 0:31:36but you used to be on the beats... I did.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39..and has, well, tell us about

0:31:39 > 0:31:43a real Starsky & Hutch-style chase that happened.

0:31:43 > 0:31:48Near a river. A river. The river in Oxford, just outside Oxford,

0:31:48 > 0:31:50where there was a burglary in progress.

0:31:50 > 0:31:55Myself and my partner ended up near a remote cottage,

0:31:55 > 0:32:00couldn't drive to it, so I got out, was met by the householder, a bit flustered,

0:32:00 > 0:32:02"He's just run off."

0:32:02 > 0:32:06This offender had run across a bridge, across the river.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09I wasn't going to run after him,

0:32:09 > 0:32:13he was far too far in front of me,

0:32:13 > 0:32:16but there was a bike against the fence so I said, "Whose bike is this?"

0:32:16 > 0:32:21Somebody said, "It's mine." I said, "Can I borrow it?" So I was on the bike!

0:32:21 > 0:32:26Luckily, you can cycle up the towpath on that part of the river. He was on the other side.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29You're hurtling along on a bike... I'm on one side of the river.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32He's legging it away on foot. He's on the other side, on foot.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36Now, the bank was quite wide there

0:32:36 > 0:32:38so he had quite a distance to do to get undercover,

0:32:38 > 0:32:43to try and seek some cover and get out the way, and I managed to catch up with him.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46As luck would happen, and it was pure luck,

0:32:46 > 0:32:48the helicopter was in the area.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50So the helicopter was directed in

0:32:50 > 0:32:55and he was arrested by the police officers on the helicopter.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58The helicopter landed to get him? Yes, the helicopter landed.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01They called out to him first and he ended up on the ground,

0:33:01 > 0:33:07well, safety, as much as anything because you've got to know where everybody is on the ground.

0:33:07 > 0:33:11I love this chase. It's extremely low-tech...

0:33:11 > 0:33:13Very low-tech! ..and extremely hi-tec! Yes!

0:33:13 > 0:33:15The two things came together quite nicely.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18Were you able to direct in the helicopter? I did. Oh, yes, absolutely.

0:33:18 > 0:33:22Although there were a few people on the bank, it wasn't very busy,

0:33:22 > 0:33:27but obviously, I was directing them to where I could see the offender.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31I had a lovely view because I had a view of the whole bank from the other side.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35Do you miss that, now that you're flying a desk? A bit!

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Do you really? A little bit! I'm not surprised!

0:33:37 > 0:33:40Thank you for telling us about the chase. You're very welcome.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46SIRENS WAIL

0:33:46 > 0:33:47Mid-summer in Portsmouth

0:33:47 > 0:33:49and an ambulance is heading to an emergency

0:33:49 > 0:33:52at one of the city's most famous landmarks.

0:33:52 > 0:33:57On board, paramedic Jane Peters and technician Stacy Blackmore...

0:34:00 > 0:34:03Inside the tower, a family has been given refuge in an office

0:34:03 > 0:34:06after Dad Eric started behaving oddly.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08What's happened, darling? Can you remember?

0:34:08 > 0:34:11We were just driving this thing along

0:34:11 > 0:34:14and it wouldn't... I couldn't control it.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17What do you suffer with, then? I started to have strokes.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19I had one in this right arm.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22I lost the use of it for a while. Right.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24Eventually, I've had five strokes. OK.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Paramedic Jane is cautious not to jump to conclusions.

0:34:27 > 0:34:31This might not necessarily be another stroke.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35Did you feel a little bit confused at the time? Yes. Yeah.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38Eric's blood-sugar levels are on the low side.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Jane wants to see if his blood pressure gives any more clues.

0:34:41 > 0:34:46190 over 100, so that's a little bit up.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48It's a bit high, which could indicate a stroke,

0:34:48 > 0:34:52so Jane needs to check for any one-sided weakness.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55Give me a nice smile. That's lovely.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58You just wanted to get me on the good side!

0:34:58 > 0:35:03The next thing I'll ask you to do, Eric, if you can close your eyes for me

0:35:03 > 0:35:06and put your hands straight out in front and try and keep them...

0:35:06 > 0:35:11He won't raise this arm. That's sort of as you normally would do it? OK.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Right, with your eyes closed,

0:35:13 > 0:35:18can you touch the tip of your nose with that forefinger?

0:35:21 > 0:35:25Lovely. Can you do it with the other hand?

0:35:25 > 0:35:29Do you have difficulty raising that? This arm. OK.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32It's looking more likely that Eric has had a small stroke.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36I think you've had another little TIA event today.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38That's what's happened.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42But I think you've recovered really well.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45I'm feeling better now.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47100 percent? Not 100,

0:35:47 > 0:35:51but I'm feeling a lot better than when I came in here.

0:35:51 > 0:35:55He's recovered so well, he can't resist ribbing son Tim

0:35:55 > 0:35:57when he gets the family's holiday address wrong.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01We're staying in Chichester. No, in Christchurch. Christchurch!

0:36:01 > 0:36:05OK. Chichester! What's the matter with him?

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Better have him checked out!

0:36:07 > 0:36:11Eric seems to be fine and the crew's about to leave.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13All of a sudden, Eric doesn't seem with it any more.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15All right, darling? Yeah, fine.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18You just had another little funny episode.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20I've had them for years.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24I know, but I don't like it when it happens in front of me again.

0:36:24 > 0:36:29We're just going to give you a little bit of oxygen to try and perk you up, clear your head a bit.

0:36:29 > 0:36:33This second episode means Eric will definitely need a trip to hospital.

0:36:33 > 0:36:34You'll come with us.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Bless him.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41Eric's family are now feeling very worried.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45They're all very concerned about what might be going on.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Come towards Tim a little bit.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51He worried about me, this boy. Course he does! He's allowed to.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54Come to the left, Dad.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59Here we go! Thank you very much for all your help.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01They soon get Eric in the ambulance,

0:37:01 > 0:37:05not what he expected on the family holiday to the south coast.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07But he's a man who likes to look on the bright side.

0:37:07 > 0:37:12Can I undo a button? Oh, you devil! I know! I know!

0:37:12 > 0:37:15Happy with that. Blood pressure's all right?

0:37:15 > 0:37:18158-74 now. That's good. That's better, isn't it?

0:37:18 > 0:37:23Jane gives him some glucose to improve his low blood-sugar levels.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26The family were about to stop for lunch when Eric's behaviour changed.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29We were going to walk to the Mary Rose.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33I said to him, "Shall we have something to eat now?"

0:37:33 > 0:37:37He said yes, but he was sort of... gone.

0:37:37 > 0:37:40But Eric does have a knack of bouncing back, and quickly.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46Did you hear that, Stace? Very good!

0:37:46 > 0:37:49He said, "Oh, my God! Now she's going forwards."

0:37:49 > 0:37:53As they arrive at the hospital in Portsmouth, everything seems to be going back to normal.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56We're just pulling into the hospital, Eric.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59We'll hear later whether that's true.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04How do you feel? I feel fine. Good.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07That's what we like to hear.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09I'm coming!

0:38:17 > 0:38:21In Milton Keynes, traffic police Ray McNaught and Neil Stevenson

0:38:21 > 0:38:24have been dealing with a two-car collision on a busy junction.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28The two women suspected of being injured in the collision are on their way to hospital

0:38:28 > 0:38:31and Ray is still needed at the scene.

0:38:31 > 0:38:35But Neil is following up on an unusual call they received earlier.

0:38:35 > 0:38:39There's a report of a car gone into a house

0:38:39 > 0:38:42on an estate in Milton Keynes.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45That's all we know. It's an injury accident at the moment.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49Neil makes his way to the house.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56The car has gone straight into the front wall.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Ray's colleague, Dave Morgan, is already at the scene.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02An ambulance has taken the car's driver to hospital,

0:39:02 > 0:39:05suffering, not surprisingly, from shock.

0:39:05 > 0:39:10Look at the crack on the inside edge. Oh, yeah.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12BACKGROUND CHATTER

0:39:12 > 0:39:17The impact has been so hard, the front end of the car has penetrated the wall.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20There are cracks going all the way up on the outside

0:39:20 > 0:39:22and the inside.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25The other side of that wall is the staircase

0:39:25 > 0:39:27and it's moved the staircase away from the wall.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30The tenant, Flaviana,

0:39:30 > 0:39:33had stepped through the front door just moments before.

0:39:33 > 0:39:37I was in the office and I just heard a brake

0:39:37 > 0:39:40and a very bang, a loud bang,

0:39:40 > 0:39:44and, er, and then I came out to see what happened.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48It was just a very strong noise.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51Actually, I hadn't realised what happened

0:39:51 > 0:39:56until the ambulance arrived and they were checking the lady, the driver,

0:39:56 > 0:40:01so only after that, I could relax and see what happened

0:40:01 > 0:40:04and, er, see the extent of the damage!

0:40:04 > 0:40:08The outside wall and Flaviana's car have been hit,

0:40:08 > 0:40:12but the inside of the house has also been affected.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14The staircase block moved a little bit

0:40:14 > 0:40:19and, er, the cupboard under the staircase,

0:40:19 > 0:40:23all that was in it came out!

0:40:23 > 0:40:26The door opened and everything was out.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29Flaviana is remarkably relaxed about the incident,

0:40:29 > 0:40:33but other occupants of the house weren't so laidback.

0:40:33 > 0:40:37The poor thing was my dog! She was upstairs!

0:40:37 > 0:40:40She heard the noise and was crying

0:40:40 > 0:40:44and peering downstairs to see what happened!

0:40:44 > 0:40:48The fire crew have already been and declared the house structurally safe

0:40:48 > 0:40:50so there's nothing more for Neil to do.

0:40:50 > 0:40:54For Flaviana, there's going to be a lot of disruption

0:40:54 > 0:40:57before her house is back to normal.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08After a sudden collapse during his south coast holiday,

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Eric spent two days in hospital being thoroughly checked out.

0:41:11 > 0:41:15The good news is, he didn't suffer another stroke.

0:41:15 > 0:41:19Back home in Essex, his own GP diagnosed a mild infection.

0:41:19 > 0:41:23That, combined with the summer heat, was enough to give him a funny turn.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27Eric hasn't had any more episodes and is feeling fully recovered.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31The police took no action against the driver

0:41:31 > 0:41:35who went into the back of a car in Milton Keynes.

0:41:35 > 0:41:39Mum and daughter, Patricia and Toyah, had whiplash

0:41:39 > 0:41:42after their rear-end shunt at a junction.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44Both are now recovering well.

0:41:44 > 0:41:48There were no charges against the driver whose car ended up embedded in the front of a house,

0:41:48 > 0:41:52but there was significant damage inside the property.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56Tenant Flaviana is still living with the consequences.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00The biggest part damaged is the staircase.

0:42:00 > 0:42:05So the staircase moved towards the hall when the car hit the wall

0:42:05 > 0:42:08and then, as a result, you can see the cracks.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10I think to repair this,

0:42:10 > 0:42:16they will need to demolish the whole staircase and repair the blockwork.

0:42:16 > 0:42:20Definitely we'll need to move out of the house when the repairs are done.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24But it's not just the damage to the bricks and mortar that's still affecting Flaviana.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28It was really scary. I'd just arrived home.

0:42:28 > 0:42:33I had just closed the door and was walking towards the office when I heard the noise.

0:42:33 > 0:42:39If she did this earlier, I would be pinned on the wall!

0:42:39 > 0:42:44Definitely something was, er, watching over me that day!

0:42:49 > 0:42:53Once again, we've seen today that the emergency services are there,

0:42:53 > 0:42:56ready and waiting, in our moments of greatest need.

0:42:56 > 0:43:00That's it for today's Real Rescues. See you next time.
