Today on Real Rescues, a hot air balloon hits an electricity pylon.

0:00:020:00:04

It's wrapped around a 130,000 volt cable.

0:00:040:00:08

Three people are trapped in the basket 50 feet above the ground.

0:00:080:00:12

An emergency at home, five-year-old Elleemae takes charge after dialling 999.

0:00:120:00:19

And how do you fancy working in raw sewage?

0:00:300:00:34

Animal rescue are called in to save a much loved horse that's fallen

0:00:340:00:37

five metres into a cesspit.

0:00:370:00:39

She looked like she was dead.

0:00:390:00:40

Her mouth was open, there was muck dripping off her.

0:00:400:00:43

Her legs were just hanging.

0:00:430:00:45

Hello and welcome to Real Rescues which celebrates

0:01:010:01:04

the work of Britain's emergency services.

0:01:040:01:05

This control room covers a large area including Gatwick Airport,

0:01:050:01:09

Brighton and the South Downs.

0:01:090:01:12

Now the chances of surviving any kind of contact with

0:01:120:01:15

an electricity cable are not very high,

0:01:150:01:17

especially if it's carrying more than 130,000 volts.

0:01:170:01:21

When onlookers saw this balloon burst into flames after flying into

0:01:210:01:24

an electricity pylon 50 feet above the ground, they feared the worst.

0:01:240:01:27

The flames went out leaving the pilot and two passengers safe

0:01:270:01:32

but trapped in the basket.

0:01:320:01:34

Now it's up to Northamptonshire Fire And Rescue Service to get them down.

0:01:340:01:38

I've seen it in the movies, I've seen it in the cartoons.

0:01:380:01:41

Electricity cables, your hair goes curly

0:01:410:01:44

and you also shake around a bit but what happened?

0:01:440:01:46

Well, yes, what was a very pleasant serene evening,

0:01:460:01:50

in a balloon turned into something very dramatic very quickly.

0:01:500:01:53

So, yeah, when it became clear that contact with those wires

0:01:530:01:56

was inevitable yeah, what do you do?

0:01:560:01:58

-You just wait for the bang really.

-So what happened? Were there sparks?

0:01:580:02:02

Yes. As the balloon touched the cables, flash, bang,

0:02:020:02:05

like being in a flaming hailstorm.

0:02:050:02:08

So, initial electrical contact then a piece of the balloon

0:02:080:02:10

must have melted because there were little bits of dripping nylon flying about.

0:02:100:02:14

You think, you pull a face and sort of curl in against it.

0:02:140:02:17

You seem quite calm describing it now.

0:02:170:02:19

Were you calm then, or screaming?

0:02:190:02:20

No screaming, no drama, no.

0:02:200:02:22

Is that because you are a qualified pilot?

0:02:220:02:24

I have a pilot's licence, yes. So those sort of things you rehearse.

0:02:240:02:28

Procedures, checklist, repeat. So it is.

0:02:280:02:31

You kick back to your training and that sort of basic approach kicks in.

0:02:310:02:36

So they're sort of hiding in the basket now waiting for you guys to kick in.

0:02:360:02:39

You get the phone call. What's your initial fears? What do you think?

0:02:390:02:42

Well, rescues are something we do on a regular basis.

0:02:420:02:45

Rescues at height probably a little bit less

0:02:450:02:48

and of course rescues involving 132,000 volts.

0:02:480:02:51

Very unlikely, very unlikely.

0:02:510:02:53

So the initial thoughts of those at the fire control and also

0:02:530:02:56

the crews is to get that electricity isolated and to establish

0:02:560:03:00

the safety and the welfare of the people within that basket.

0:03:000:03:03

So how long did it take? A couple of minutes, 20 minutes? Hour?

0:03:030:03:06

We were there for some time.

0:03:060:03:08

To isolate the power, we eventually got it isolated about 9:45

0:03:080:03:13

that evening, bearing in mind we'd been there since 6:10.

0:03:130:03:16

Nearly four, five hours, isn't it?

0:03:160:03:18

But then again the power was isolated

0:03:180:03:20

but it did need grounding and earthing.

0:03:200:03:22

Right, OK. So you're hanging about, quite literally. What are you doing?

0:03:220:03:27

Well having the initial fright, the flash, the bang,

0:03:270:03:30

and then the fact that some of the flying wires did actually twang,

0:03:300:03:33

so we've then got six holding us up out of the 16

0:03:330:03:37

and then to have suddenly realised it wasn't going to shred

0:03:370:03:39

any more and plunge that last 50 feet.

0:03:390:03:42

Then it is very much a waiting game.

0:03:420:03:44

-Just be patient.

-So how did you get them down in the end?

0:03:440:03:47

We did establish communications. There was a lot of talk about how we would.

0:03:470:03:50

Eventually we used out rope rescue team from Northamptonshire,

0:03:500:03:54

that work in the fire station.

0:03:540:03:55

They had to ascend up to the pylon,

0:03:550:03:57

up to the bail arm where the conductors are.

0:03:570:04:00

Abseil down and pick each person out one by one and then take them

0:04:000:04:04

to the ambulance where they were assessed by the ambulance crew

0:04:040:04:07

for minor burns and other injuries.

0:04:070:04:09

-I understand it was your first ever balloon flight?

-Yes.

0:04:090:04:11

Out of curiosity, as someone who flies, come for a ride.

0:04:110:04:14

-So yes, ride in a balloon.

-Would you do it again?

0:04:140:04:16

-Of course. Why ever not? Yes.

-He's mad.

-No, not a bit. I just...

0:04:160:04:19

-Yes.

-I'm sure it'll be fine next time.

0:04:190:04:21

I need to know what a normal landing looks like.

0:04:210:04:23

Yeah, you should. Colin and Rob, thank you both very much indeed.

0:04:230:04:26

I can't believe he wants to go back again.

0:04:260:04:27

As we've just seen, emergency rescue crews have to work in all kinds

0:04:270:04:30

of difficult and demanding conditions.

0:04:300:04:33

However, agreeing to get into a tank of raw sewage to save a life

0:04:330:04:37

is testament to their commitment.

0:04:370:04:39

In a Hampshire field,

0:04:410:04:43

fire crews prepare for one of their toughest rescues.

0:04:430:04:46

Five metres below ground, a horse is up to its neck in sewage.

0:04:460:04:51

The cesspit's fibreglass lid gave way under her weight

0:04:510:04:55

leaving elderly Annie in a desperate situation.

0:04:550:04:57

There's a good girl. There's a good girl.

0:04:590:05:02

The stench is appalling and animal rescue specialist,

0:05:020:05:06

Buster Brown, knows that the trauma of a rescue might be too much

0:05:060:05:10

for this 23-year-old mare.

0:05:100:05:12

If you bang I'm just worried about stimulating this horse too much.

0:05:120:05:15

It's going to take two fire crews and a crane to attempt this rescue.

0:05:150:05:19

This is trouble, isn't it?

0:05:200:05:22

300 gallons of water has been pumped from the pit but Annie

0:05:220:05:26

can only just keep her head clear.

0:05:260:05:29

Her survival instincts are still strong

0:05:310:05:33

but Annie's struggles could exhaust and even kill her.

0:05:330:05:37

She's already bleeding from a gash over one eye.

0:05:370:05:40

You're in a predicament you are, eh?

0:05:410:05:44

The rescuers need to get straps around her so that the crane

0:05:450:05:48

can lift her out but first they must make the opening bigger.

0:05:480:05:52

They're going to cut that, do it in sections, it doesn't matter.

0:05:520:05:55

Do it half and half if you like cos when it's cut I'll hold.

0:05:550:05:59

-We're going to put this line.

-All right.

0:05:590:06:01

I actually thought probably this was the end for her

0:06:010:06:03

and I'd lost her and obviously didn't want to lose her this way.

0:06:030:06:07

Since she was two we've had her.

0:06:070:06:09

My kids have all grown up with her and learnt to ride on her.

0:06:090:06:12

The odds are against Annie. It's a cold November day.

0:06:140:06:17

She's been up to her neck in freezing sewage for an hour

0:06:170:06:20

and it's going to be a noisy operation.

0:06:200:06:23

When rescuing horses and cattle our biggest problem is stimulation.

0:06:270:06:30

That is us making the animal react to what we're doing

0:06:300:06:35

whether it be using equipment or by movement around the animal.

0:06:350:06:39

It is very important to try and keep the noise down to a relatively quiet level.

0:06:390:06:45

Vet Suzanne is on site ready to sedate Annie

0:06:450:06:48

but they can't get close enough to the horse yet.

0:06:480:06:50

They want to lower a ladder but there's another problem.

0:06:500:06:54

-It's a cylindrical bottom.

-Cylindrical?

0:06:560:07:00

Yeah, so you haven't got an edge.

0:07:000:07:01

-It just goes around like the bottom of a lemonade bottle.

-Yeah?

0:07:010:07:05

So a ladder is just going to slide.

0:07:050:07:06

-Shall we see if we can get some of this out?

-Yeah.

0:07:060:07:09

Annie is also wedged behind the cesspit's filters.

0:07:090:07:13

These separate the water from the solids.

0:07:130:07:15

We're not going to commit you at the minute until we got rid of this filter. All right?

0:07:150:07:20

My main worry was more if she was inhaling

0:07:200:07:23

the fluid around her. That, you know, there was a great risk

0:07:230:07:27

of her developing a pneumonia should she survive the actual rescue.

0:07:270:07:30

There was a risk of her becoming hypothermic and going into shock

0:07:320:07:35

so that was a possible concern as well.

0:07:350:07:38

I'd better just get you back now because you haven't got a line on you.

0:07:380:07:42

They're battling against time.

0:07:420:07:44

The water level is rising with each flush of the toilets

0:07:440:07:47

that drain into the cesspit.

0:07:470:07:48

There's water coming in from somewhere.

0:07:480:07:51

They have been asked not to use any flushes.

0:07:510:07:53

They have to keep Annie's head above water

0:07:530:07:55

but can't risk working near her until she's sedated.

0:07:550:07:58

I'm worried about the horse now.

0:07:580:08:00

It's getting a little bit lower in the water.

0:08:000:08:02

We need to get it some sort of medication.

0:08:020:08:05

It's time to change tack. Vet Suzanne can't get in the pit.

0:08:050:08:08

They're going to have to improvise a sedation spear.

0:08:080:08:12

All we did was, using duct tape,

0:08:120:08:14

tape the syringe to the end of one pole and, so the vet was able,

0:08:140:08:19

remotely, at three metres away, to jab the animal.

0:08:190:08:22

And then I was able, using another pole,

0:08:220:08:24

to plunge the pole onto the plunger of the syringe into the animal

0:08:240:08:29

so we were able to apply the sedation.

0:08:290:08:31

Now they can clear the rest of the filters

0:08:310:08:33

without fear of stressing the horse further.

0:08:330:08:36

But every time a filter is hauled out, the fumes increase.

0:08:360:08:40

The effluent that we were working in with the horse was quite vile

0:08:400:08:44

and also the filtration system holds back a lot of the solids.

0:08:440:08:49

So the environment we were working in

0:08:490:08:51

and the odour that we were ingesting was quite disgusting.

0:08:510:08:56

This is another one. This is quite heavy. It's so full of water.

0:08:560:09:01

It's taking too long. Buster can see the horse is beginning to give up.

0:09:010:09:05

-Come on.

-No, We're losing this horse.

-Sorry?

0:09:050:09:07

Nothing's happening. We're going to lose this horse.

0:09:070:09:10

Annie is fading fast, two firefighters need to get inside

0:09:100:09:14

the cesspit to put lifting straps underneath her to get her out quick.

0:09:140:09:18

Somebody's got to go in there and strap this animal up, haven't we?

0:09:180:09:22

We'll get two blokes dressed in dry suits. We don't have an option.

0:09:220:09:25

And we'll be seeing what happens when two firefighters agree

0:09:270:09:30

to get into the sewage alongside the frightened animal.

0:09:300:09:34

Now, calls coming into this centre are regularly scaled up to

0:09:340:09:37

emergency status but it's not always obvious just how serious

0:09:370:09:41

a situation is to start with.

0:09:410:09:44

Mike can tell me all about a call just like that one.

0:09:440:09:46

-Um, Mike, sorry to disturb you.

-That's OK.

0:09:460:09:48

Somebody called you, a man, he was very calm at the beginning.

0:09:480:09:51

What did he say was wrong?

0:09:510:09:52

He didn't want to say because he said it was personal

0:09:520:09:55

and was a bit embarrassing to explain but he wanted to see

0:09:550:09:58

a police officer that evening if we had one free.

0:09:580:10:00

He was very calm. We were trying to resource it.

0:10:000:10:04

About an hour later I phoned him back to make sure that he

0:10:040:10:06

still needed to see someone which he said he did.

0:10:060:10:09

Tried to see what it was. Maybe I could have dealt with it that time.

0:10:090:10:12

But he still didn't want to explain it.

0:10:120:10:15

OK, so eventually you got two police officers outside the front door

0:10:150:10:19

-and they knocked on the door and he didn't answer.

-No.

0:10:190:10:21

So I gave him a ring and said to him you know,

0:10:210:10:24

"We now have two police officers at the front door if you want to go and talk to them?"

0:10:240:10:28

And out of the blue he said, "I can't go and answer the door.

0:10:280:10:32

"Because my wife's found out I've been having an affair,

0:10:320:10:35

"she's picked up two very large carving knives

0:10:350:10:37

"and I've barricaded myself in the bedroom."

0:10:370:10:41

So at that point I was thinking here is a danger for this guy

0:10:410:10:43

although he's safe at the moment because he's barricaded himself in the bedroom,

0:10:430:10:47

but we're going to have to break into the premises from what he's told us which means that

0:10:470:10:51

we're putting the police officers at risk as well. So I explained to him

0:10:510:10:54

we're going to have to force entry to the premises from what he's

0:10:540:10:57

told us and he agreed to that.

0:10:570:10:58

He was quite happy for us to do that.

0:10:580:11:00

-He'd been waiting some 2.5 hours for you to come.

-Yes.

0:11:000:11:03

But not saying how serious.

0:11:030:11:04

No, he was so calm about the whole thing

0:11:040:11:06

that you wouldn't have guessed there was anything sort of urgent behind it.

0:11:060:11:10

So I explained to him

0:11:100:11:12

we were going to have to put the door in or force the door open.

0:11:120:11:15

And he was very happy about that and as a parting sort of gesture

0:11:150:11:18

he said, "By the way, once you get in, I have two German Shepherd dogs

0:11:180:11:21

"loose downstairs as well."

0:11:210:11:23

Which you managed to get around and actually he was OK

0:11:230:11:26

-in the end, wasn't he?

-Yes.

0:11:260:11:27

We had to make sure we had proper clothing, equipment

0:11:270:11:30

to actually force the entry in but we managed to get in.

0:11:300:11:32

Nobody got injured and we dealt with it once we were in there,

0:11:320:11:35

but it's an example that things can escalate quite quickly and things change.

0:11:350:11:39

-We have to risk assess that as we go along.

-Strange story.

0:11:390:11:44

-Mike, thank you.

-Any time.

0:11:440:11:45

From someone in deep, deep trouble to deep sea divers.

0:11:460:11:50

Now it's been affecting them since the 19th century

0:11:500:11:53

and it used to called the mystery malady.

0:11:530:11:55

Nowadays, the bends or decompression sickness

0:11:550:11:57

is more thoroughly understood, but divers are still getting into trouble.

0:11:570:12:01

When an emergency happens, it requires the fastest response.

0:12:010:12:05

You've got a job, OK, where is it?

0:12:050:12:07

Air ambulance paramedics, Paul Owen and Mark Williams are heading to

0:12:070:12:11

an emergency at an inland lake near Frome in Somerset.

0:12:110:12:14

We're off to a local dive centre to a 30-year-old male.

0:12:140:12:18

He's ascended from depth quite quickly

0:12:180:12:20

so he's possibly got the bends.

0:12:200:12:23

Decompression sickness is called the bends

0:12:230:12:26

because it can leave sufferers doubled up with pain.

0:12:260:12:29

The diving centre is a popular place for divers to learn and practise.

0:12:300:12:35

We are on route now, ETA hopefully six minutes.

0:12:380:12:41

The cloud is a little bit of a problem.

0:12:410:12:43

We'll inform you if we can't make it.

0:12:430:12:47

All understood, thank you.

0:12:470:12:50

Flying conditions aren't good but this can be a very serious condition.

0:12:500:12:55

There is every chance this diver will need to be taken to

0:12:550:12:58

a specialist treatment centre.

0:12:580:12:59

Basically what happens is the nitrogen they absorb in their body

0:12:590:13:02

when diving doesn't have time to dissipate as they come up slowly.

0:13:020:13:06

He's come up too fast.

0:13:060:13:08

We've been called in because we've got the option of flying him

0:13:080:13:11

to a local decompression chamber down in Poole

0:13:110:13:14

where they'll sort him out. See the doctors down there.

0:13:140:13:17

The main role for us is the speed of getting him down to the chamber.

0:13:170:13:20

The low cloud cover and strong winds makes the landing tricky.

0:13:220:13:26

It may be a bit snotty because the wind's coming through the trees.

0:13:270:13:31

AUTOMATED VOICE: '100 feet.'

0:13:310:13:34

30 tall trees there, coming up on your side now.

0:13:340:13:37

Shout when you're clear your side.

0:13:370:13:39

You're clear my side.

0:13:390:13:40

Coming down.

0:13:400:13:42

-Wobbly.

-OK. Clear. I'll turn the radio.

0:13:430:13:48

But they've made it, in under 10 minutes.

0:13:480:13:52

-How are you feeling at the moment, Martin?

-All right.

0:13:520:13:54

Are you OK. Are you at all short of breath or anything like that?

0:13:540:13:57

-No.

-No?

0:13:570:13:59

Inside the centre, local paramedics are already giving high flow oxygen

0:13:590:14:03

to the patient which should reduce nitrogen levels in his body.

0:14:030:14:06

-OK. Right. What was BP, that's all right?

-The last one was 120/60.

0:14:060:14:11

That's fine. Yeah.

0:14:110:14:14

Temperature was reading quite low

0:14:140:14:17

but he's been down at six degrees in the water.

0:14:170:14:20

Martin was slowly surfacing from a 23 metre dive when halfway up,

0:14:200:14:24

his assent went out of control and he shot to the surface.

0:14:240:14:29

The sudden change in pressure flooded his system with too much nitrogen.

0:14:290:14:33

You're OK at the moment? OK, pins and needles, all that's gone?

0:14:330:14:36

All the tingling...

0:14:360:14:38

Common symptoms of the bends are dizziness,

0:14:380:14:40

joint pain and abdominal cramps.

0:14:400:14:43

In extreme cases it can lead to organ failure.

0:14:430:14:46

Let me know if anything changes, if you start to feel groggy,

0:14:460:14:49

whether you're getting pain in your chest.

0:14:490:14:51

We're going to take you down to Poole. You have come up quickly.

0:14:510:14:54

-Have you ever done anything like that before?

-No.

0:14:540:14:56

-You'd never been to a decompression chamber before?

-No, never.

0:14:560:14:59

OK. How long have you been diving?

0:14:590:15:01

-Since last summer.

-Right.

0:15:010:15:04

They commandeer the centre's Transit van.

0:15:040:15:07

It's going to be a bit bumpy, I imagine, in the back of a Transit.

0:15:080:15:11

We'll just take you up to the helicopter. It's in the car park at the top.

0:15:110:15:14

Although Martin's symptoms are subsiding,

0:15:140:15:17

they still need to get him checked out by dive doctors.

0:15:170:15:20

He may need time in an oxygen rich hyperbaric chamber

0:15:200:15:23

to rebalance the gas levels in his blood and tissues.

0:15:230:15:26

But there's a worry.

0:15:260:15:28

Martin's decompression sickness has been brought on by rapid

0:15:280:15:31

changes in pressure.

0:15:310:15:32

There's an outside chance that flying him at altitude

0:15:320:15:34

in the helicopter could aggravate his symptoms.

0:15:340:15:38

In a minute, once we're all loaded, we'll pop your arms under this one,

0:15:380:15:42

but we want to keep them out to get blood pressure and that sort of thing.

0:15:420:15:45

Just got to be quite careful in these situations.

0:15:450:15:47

As you can see, he's talking, he's happy,

0:15:470:15:49

let's hope he stays that way.

0:15:490:15:52

And we'll be following Martin's journey to hospital.

0:15:560:15:59

Still to come on Real Rescues, at home with her baby sister

0:16:020:16:05

five-year-old Elleemae comes to the rescue after her mum falls ill.

0:16:050:16:10

And I'm on top of the Royal London Hospital.

0:16:210:16:23

Not to take in the beautiful views of the capital, but to check out

0:16:230:16:27

an innovation in London's air ambulance which will improve

0:16:270:16:30

the survival rates of hundreds of people a year.

0:16:300:16:33

Throughout the programme we are following one of the toughest missions

0:16:360:16:39

the animal rescue specialists have faced. Now the conditions are the very worst.

0:16:390:16:43

The horse is trapped in a cesspit.

0:16:430:16:44

The two firefighters have got to get into the sewage with the animal.

0:16:440:16:49

The battle is on to save an elderly horse from drowning in a cesspit.

0:16:510:16:55

Animal rescue specialist,

0:16:550:16:56

Buster Brown, has to keep her head above water.

0:16:560:16:59

Move your head. Good girl. Come on.

0:17:000:17:03

He loops a rope to pass it under her neck.

0:17:030:17:06

Annie! Good girl.

0:17:060:17:08

Can you just...

0:17:090:17:10

-Hold that.

-It'll be my fault you don't go flying in.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:17:100:17:14

With the filters out of the way, the crews can get a ladder in place.

0:17:160:17:19

Buster needs two volunteers to climb down into the raw sewage

0:17:190:17:24

to get the strops in place to crane the horse out.

0:17:240:17:27

Jim Tarbuck and Jim Tallick must be completely covered

0:17:310:17:34

and protected before they can climb down.

0:17:340:17:37

I'm happy with the gas levels.

0:17:370:17:39

-OK, Annie!

-All right, Annie.

0:17:390:17:43

No worries, babes.

0:17:430:17:44

All right, Annie.

0:17:440:17:46

"No worries, babes"(!)

0:17:460:17:47

Meanwhile they can move the crane closer to the pit.

0:17:470:17:50

Annie's rescue is reaching the critical stage.

0:17:500:17:53

Generally, when we get them in the harness,

0:17:530:17:55

because of the endorphins it will relax.

0:17:550:17:58

-OK.

-If it kicks off we're just going to put it back down again.

0:17:580:18:00

That's fine.

0:18:000:18:02

-Jimmy?

-Yeah?

-Don't stimulate it, talk quietly, please.

0:18:020:18:05

The smell was quite appalling but apart from that there's also gases and we have to be mindful

0:18:050:18:10

that if we're working in an atmosphere like that

0:18:100:18:12

we must monitor those gases, so we knew it was breathable.

0:18:120:18:16

Although we knew the horse was breathing, what may affect the horse

0:18:160:18:20

may not necessarily affect the human.

0:18:200:18:23

We also had to be aware that to ask people to enter the pit, we had to keep them safe

0:18:230:18:28

in that environment and dress them in protective suits.

0:18:280:18:30

So they were in dry suits, big rubber suits,

0:18:300:18:33

to keep all that effluent off the actual skin and their body.

0:18:330:18:36

Steady.

0:18:360:18:37

Out of sight of our camera, a worrying development.

0:18:380:18:41

Annie panics and struggles.

0:18:410:18:43

One kick could kill a firefighter, even in these cramped conditions.

0:18:440:18:49

-Steady!

-Jim, out! Out, Jim!

0:18:490:18:53

Jim is pulled to safety but somehow, he put the head collar and rope

0:18:530:18:57

onto Annie before she panicked.

0:18:570:18:59

To get the red lifting straps under the horse's body,

0:19:010:19:04

they use the yellow guide to pull them through the raw sewage.

0:19:040:19:08

And I want the crane with the spreader bar brought over.

0:19:100:19:13

The straps are in place.

0:19:130:19:15

Now they can attach a bar which will distribute her weight

0:19:150:19:19

once she's on the crane but they can't risk the horse panicking again.

0:19:190:19:22

She needs more sedation.

0:19:220:19:24

Do you want to give it another sedation or...?

0:19:240:19:26

-Definitely need one more before it comes up.

-OK.

0:19:260:19:28

We're going to do it the same way as before.

0:19:280:19:31

If she starts to struggle, there's a possibility

0:19:310:19:33

that she falls out the sling. She may fall back down into the cesspit.

0:19:330:19:38

She may re-injure herself when she falls.

0:19:380:19:40

So, the main point at that time is to keep her as quiet as she can.

0:19:400:19:44

The horse is now ready to be lifted out but one wrong move

0:19:460:19:50

and she could slip back into the sewage.

0:19:500:19:52

We'll be seeing what happens when they start to winch Annie out of the cesspit.

0:19:560:20:00

It turns out the rescue is far from over.

0:20:000:20:03

This is Elleemae,

0:20:070:20:08

she's just six, she's here with her bear, Yogi,

0:20:080:20:10

and even though she's just six,

0:20:100:20:12

she knows exactly what to do in an emergency.

0:20:120:20:15

This is the 999 call she made last year.

0:20:150:20:18

Wow. The call taker at Cheshire Police has managed to trace the address

0:21:410:21:45

as Elleemae is using a landline.

0:21:450:21:48

The six-year-old is getting more and more worried about her mummy.

0:21:480:21:52

What an amazing call. With me is Sally who took that call.

0:23:020:23:05

Loretta as well and obviously Elleemae.

0:23:050:23:07

Um, gosh, Sally, it brought tears to my eyes listening to that.

0:23:070:23:11

What was it like for you? Just describe for us.

0:23:110:23:13

It was just difficult when she first came on

0:23:130:23:16

because she was so upset.

0:23:160:23:17

She was crying and when little girls cry they just go... like that.

0:23:170:23:21

so it was really hard to get information out of her,

0:23:210:23:24

but she did calm down. We managed to get what was up with mummy.

0:23:240:23:27

Not quite exactly but she wasn't...

0:23:270:23:29

-But very close, wasn't it?

-It was, yeah.

0:23:290:23:32

She was like, "Mummy is lying in bed," and we just basically asked her

0:23:320:23:35

questions like is she breathing, what is she doing, is she moving?

0:23:350:23:40

She answered all the right questions.

0:23:400:23:42

She's absolutely brilliant. What a star.

0:23:420:23:44

And I know this was particularly tough for you because you're having your own baby

0:23:440:23:47

-so you must have been more emotional as well.

-It was, very.

0:23:470:23:50

Because you think I'd like my child to grow up like that to be...

0:23:500:23:54

so brave. She's brilliant. Absolute star.

0:23:540:23:57

-What a lovely thing to say, Loretta.

-I know.

0:23:570:24:00

She did brilliantly.

0:24:000:24:02

Tell me how she knew even

0:24:020:24:04

because she was only five at the time, how to dial 999.

0:24:040:24:07

Mentioned it to her a couple of times

0:24:070:24:09

as we moved into our own house.

0:24:090:24:12

I mentioned it to her a couple of times to do it.

0:24:120:24:15

It was literally off the cuff.

0:24:150:24:16

It wasn't anything written down or anything

0:24:160:24:19

and she seemed to remember it. That was it really.

0:24:190:24:21

And the amazing thing about that phone call is Elleemae is a little bit shy,

0:24:210:24:25

Isn't she? But on that phone call, Elleemae,

0:24:250:24:28

you were telling her all the brilliant things about Mummy,

0:24:280:24:31

-wasn't she? She was incredible.

-Yeah, she did really, really well.

0:24:310:24:34

What was wrong with you at the time? What was going on?

0:24:340:24:37

-I had a seizure but didn't feel it coming on.

-Was it epilepsy?

-Yeah.

0:24:370:24:41

So...didn't feel it coming on, just had one out the blue

0:24:410:24:44

and she had come in and seen me and realised I needed help.

0:24:440:24:48

And tell me, you have given her, afterwards, for being so brave,

0:24:480:24:51

you've given her a few presents, spoiled her a little bit, haven't you? Quite rightly!

0:24:510:24:55

Yeah. She's been very spoiled, haven't you, madam? Eh?

0:24:550:24:58

She's had all sorts. She's been rollerblading, pictures,

0:24:580:25:02

loads of treats off like the local Warrington Guardian.

0:25:020:25:05

-Off the Mayor in Warrington and stuff.

-That's lovely!

0:25:050:25:07

Elleemae, thank you very much for coming to see us and I know that

0:25:070:25:10

you are going to go for a swim later so it might make it worthwhile.

0:25:100:25:13

-Well done for being so brave. Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:25:130:25:16

Earlier we saw the air ambulance fly to the rescue of diver, Martin,

0:25:180:25:22

who was showing all the symptoms of decompression sickness.

0:25:220:25:26

He needs specialist treatment in a hyperbaric chamber.

0:25:260:25:29

Martin's suffering from classic symptoms of the bends,

0:25:300:25:33

dizziness, nausea and headache.

0:25:330:25:36

He's obviously come up from a depth a lot quicker

0:25:360:25:38

than he should have done.

0:25:380:25:39

There's problems that could result

0:25:390:25:41

with the expansion of the nitrogen in the blood.

0:25:410:25:43

So we've got to get him down to Poole, the decompression centre.

0:25:430:25:47

The rapid pressure change has caused nitrogen to flood Martin's system.

0:25:470:25:51

The dive doctors in Poole may decide he needs high-pressure

0:25:510:25:54

oxygen treatment in a hyperbaric chamber.

0:25:540:25:57

It's going to be noisy. We're going to pop a headset on you.

0:25:570:25:59

I will keep it unplugged for most of the time, but from time to time,

0:25:590:26:02

if you wave at me we'll plug you in and we'll have a chat.

0:26:020:26:04

Is that all right? Well done.

0:26:110:26:13

The air ambulance takes off.

0:26:130:26:15

They'll have to hug the ground where possible.

0:26:150:26:17

Flying too high at low air pressure could aggravate Martin's symptoms.

0:26:170:26:22

To help stop the nitrogen taking hold,

0:26:220:26:24

Martin is on high flow oxygen throughout the flight.

0:26:240:26:27

We're currently at 500 feet. It's no problem to the patient.

0:26:270:26:33

You think if you're out walking you may walk up a hill at 500 feet

0:26:330:26:36

and it doesn't really change the air pressure or anything at all.

0:26:360:26:39

At this height there's no issues or concerns at all.

0:26:390:26:43

It takes just 15 minutes to get him to the decompression centre.

0:26:430:26:47

By road it would have taken at least 90 minutes.

0:26:470:26:50

Hello, I'm Rosemary.

0:26:500:26:52

-Hello, Doc.

-I'm the dive doctor.

-Hello.

0:26:520:26:54

You've had a bit of fun and games this morning? How are you doing?

0:26:540:26:57

-I'm OK.

-Yeah? What are the sats like?

0:26:570:27:00

Sats 98 pulse rate around 110. On oxygen.

0:27:000:27:03

He was desaturating a little bit apparently earlier on.

0:27:030:27:06

He is a little bit cold. His temperature was 36.1.

0:27:060:27:09

Pulse rate around 110 BP 110-111/73.

0:27:090:27:13

-Have you ever had any problems diving before?

-No.

0:27:130:27:15

No, no problems at all. This is just one of these things. All right?

0:27:150:27:19

We're going to bring him down to

0:27:190:27:21

the hyperbaric chamber

0:27:210:27:23

because he's got some signs and symptoms of decompression illness.

0:27:230:27:26

Dr Rosemary Crinion

0:27:260:27:28

has decided Martin does need a stint in the centre's hyperbaric chamber.

0:27:280:27:34

What we do is we treat them, give them high-pressure oxygen

0:27:340:27:37

under pressure and then that will hopefully resolve the symptoms.

0:27:370:27:40

He will be in there for about...

0:27:400:27:42

in the and he'll be in for about six or seven hours.

0:27:420:27:44

Went for a dive, everything was fine, got to about 12 metres.

0:27:470:27:52

All of a sudden my fins became very loose on my feet.

0:27:530:27:56

I'm not entirely sure why. I had a lot of trouble with my weight.

0:27:560:28:01

I just couldn't keep myself down.

0:28:010:28:03

Dumped as much air as I could but just couldn't stop myself rising.

0:28:030:28:07

And just shot up very quickly. You know, very scary.

0:28:070:28:11

One of the most scariest things I think that's ever happened to me.

0:28:110:28:13

The great news is, Martin is fine now.

0:28:160:28:19

Air ambulances are becoming a more common sight carrying doctors

0:28:190:28:22

and paramedics to the most seriously injured.

0:28:220:28:24

Up until now, there's one thing they couldn't carry, blood.

0:28:240:28:28

But that's changed, as Chris has been finding out.

0:28:280:28:31

I'm on top of the Royal London Hospital on a beautiful day

0:28:310:28:34

here in the capital.

0:28:340:28:36

Just take in the views.

0:28:360:28:37

We've got Canary Wharf, the dome and over here the London Olympic Stadium.

0:28:370:28:42

But we haven't come all this way to see that.

0:28:420:28:45

We've come to see something much smaller and it's on this

0:28:450:28:48

London air ambulance. To explain everything is Dr Anne Weaver.

0:28:480:28:52

-Hello, how are you?

-Hi, I'm good thanks, good afternoon.

0:28:520:28:55

So tell me, I've heard about this magic box, what's it called?

0:28:550:28:58

This is the golden hour box.

0:28:580:29:01

We found it with some help from the British Army.

0:29:010:29:03

It's used by our troops in Afghanistan.

0:29:030:29:07

But we've found that it's perfect for civilian purposes and for us

0:29:070:29:10

to carry blood on board London's air ambulance and our fleet of cars.

0:29:100:29:13

OK, so many questions I've got for you.

0:29:130:29:16

Why is it called the golden hour box?

0:29:160:29:18

Well for people who've heard of trauma as a disease, there's thought to be

0:29:180:29:23

a special hour, the hour immediately after you've been injured

0:29:230:29:26

when if medical resources are applied appropriately and you get the right treatment,

0:29:260:29:30

if you're looked after well in that hour you can actually reduce

0:29:300:29:33

death rates subsequently after that period of time.

0:29:330:29:36

So we try and make sure that actually patients get the very best care as soon as possible.

0:29:360:29:40

We've been trying for a couple of years to actually get blood on board.

0:29:400:29:44

For some groups of patients who are actually bleeding to death,

0:29:440:29:47

current, until March, we had to give them

0:29:470:29:49

normal saline which doesn't carry oxygen so it doesn't resuscitate the heart and the brain.

0:29:490:29:54

But now that we are carrying blood, we can provide better care for this group of patients

0:29:540:29:58

and hopefully restart their heart or make them better by the time they even reach the hospital.

0:29:580:30:03

That sounds so obvious.

0:30:030:30:04

It does, but you wouldn't believe how difficult it has actually been to make that happen

0:30:040:30:09

and that's because there's lots of rules and regulations around carrying blood

0:30:090:30:13

and making sure we do it in a safe way which is equivalent to

0:30:130:30:16

the processes that are used inside hospitals by the NHS.

0:30:160:30:20

Now what is so magic about this box?

0:30:200:30:21

Well I'll open the box and then you can sort of see for yourself.

0:30:210:30:26

This black box inside has actually been in a freezer at -18 degrees

0:30:260:30:29

for eight hours.

0:30:290:30:31

It then gets taken out and is allowed to thaw about an hour until

0:30:310:30:34

condensation forms, but the beauty of this box is that whilst it's closed

0:30:340:30:39

it will keep the blood at four degrees centigrade for 72 hours.

0:30:390:30:42

-Have you used this unit?

-Yeah, we have.

0:30:420:30:44

This has probably been used eight times already.

0:30:440:30:46

And what difference has that made?

0:30:460:30:47

We had a patient last week who was a cyclist, hit by a lorry,

0:30:470:30:51

who was in cardiac arrest.

0:30:510:30:53

Following some of the interventions and giving blood, we got the heart started,

0:30:530:30:57

the patient was taken to one of the major trauma centres.

0:30:570:31:00

Brilliant. And it stays in the air ambulance all the time?

0:31:000:31:02

It stays in the helicopter and even though it's a warm day,

0:31:020:31:05

it won't make any difference to the contents inside.

0:31:050:31:07

Fantastic. What a great invention. Well done the Army, well done you.

0:31:070:31:11

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Nice to meet you.

-Thanks very much.

0:31:110:31:14

You leave your car parked safely in the road like you always do.

0:31:160:31:19

When you come back you expect it to be in the same place

0:31:190:31:22

and still in one piece.

0:31:220:31:25

PC Mark Fowler has been called to a two car smash

0:31:270:31:30

but only one of the cars was being driven.

0:31:300:31:32

He's taken the wheel off of that other one.

0:31:320:31:35

The crash has happened on a main road, one lane is now blocked.

0:31:400:31:43

Whose is whose?

0:31:430:31:45

That's mine.

0:31:450:31:47

-And that's the gentleman's in the back of the ambulance. That's his car.

-What happened?

0:31:470:31:52

I don't know. I was working.

0:31:520:31:55

The driver involved is Gerald.

0:31:550:31:56

He's unharmed but Mark wants to know what's caused him

0:31:560:32:00

to crash into a parked car.

0:32:000:32:02

As I was driving along, another car coming the opposite direction

0:32:030:32:07

was a bit far over on my side of the road -

0:32:070:32:10

on this side of the road - and I just swerved in a bit to miss it

0:32:100:32:15

and straight into the side of that one.

0:32:150:32:17

Dental practice manager Alison, has come back to find her car damaged

0:32:170:32:20

and at the centre of an investigation.

0:32:200:32:23

I always park here every day.

0:32:230:32:25

The gentleman who lives in this house here just gave me a ring.

0:32:250:32:29

At least the gentleman's well and all fit and he's not injured. That's the main thing.

0:32:290:32:34

That's quite precarious there, isn't it?

0:32:340:32:37

If you have a look, the wheel's been snapped off of the um... the arm

0:32:370:32:44

And the actual bodywork is resting on the wheel itself,

0:32:440:32:47

so the wheel's detached from the arm and from the suspension.

0:32:470:32:51

Back of the bodywork is resting on the wheel

0:32:510:32:53

so any movement of that and it's liable to collapse and catch someone's toes!

0:32:530:32:58

So the traffic can pass freely,

0:33:000:33:01

Mark and his colleague, Greg, need to move the stricken cars.

0:33:010:33:04

The damage to both cars suggests this was quite a blow.

0:33:170:33:20

Gerald has said he had to swerve to avoid another car

0:33:210:33:25

on his side of the road, but without a registration

0:33:250:33:27

plate number, PC Mark knows he'll never be able to track it down.

0:33:270:33:32

Instead, he has to rule out any other possible causes.

0:33:320:33:35

First, Gerald needs to be breathalysed.

0:33:350:33:39

So you haven't had any alcohol in the last 20 minutes then?

0:33:390:33:41

-I haven't had any alcohol at all.

-OK.

-In 15 years, I don't think.

0:33:410:33:44

-Do you smoke at all, have you had a cigarette?

-Gerald passes.

0:33:440:33:47

Now for the next check.

0:33:470:33:48

What I will need to do is require you to take an eyesight test.

0:33:480:33:54

To pass the practical driving test, a driver must be able to read

0:33:560:34:00

a number plate from 20 metres away.

0:34:000:34:02

So it's just reading you wear them for?

0:34:030:34:05

Yes. And for watching television.

0:34:050:34:07

-That's fine. Thank you very much.

-Gerald's passed.

0:34:120:34:15

Now he's free to walk into town

0:34:150:34:17

and sort out how to get his car off the road and into a garage.

0:34:170:34:21

It's got to go today because of all the sharp bits here.

0:34:210:34:25

Yeah. Yeah.

0:34:250:34:27

Even though it was stationary,

0:34:290:34:31

it looks like Alison's car may have come off worse.

0:34:310:34:34

As it's unsteadily balanced on its broken wheel, Mark has arranged for the vehicle

0:34:340:34:38

to be towed away for the general public's safety.

0:34:380:34:42

You reckon that's written off?

0:34:420:34:45

A car on three wheels is recovered just the same way as one with four,

0:34:480:34:53

though it makes things slightly more difficult.

0:34:530:34:55

Here he goes. Oh... Is he going to make it?

0:34:580:35:02

The road is fully clear and now, should they want to risk it,

0:35:050:35:08

other drivers can use Alison's parking spot that has become

0:35:080:35:12

unexpectedly available.

0:35:120:35:14

Up to your neck in raw sewage.

0:35:150:35:17

That's where the firefighters have been working to try

0:35:170:35:20

and save the life of a much loved horse called Annie.

0:35:200:35:23

Now, the most dangerous part, the lift, is about to happen.

0:35:230:35:26

They're almost ready to start lifting Annie.

0:35:290:35:31

The two men inside the cesspit guide the spreader bar into position.

0:35:310:35:35

I want it over the spine, if possible, Perry.

0:35:370:35:40

OK, listen, guys.

0:35:400:35:42

Do one set at a time. Front, then back, it'll be easier.

0:35:420:35:46

Once it's in place, they need to get out of the pit for their own safety.

0:35:460:35:49

You two out, please.

0:35:490:35:51

The slow lift begins.

0:35:550:35:57

One firefighter holds a rope attached to Annie's head collar

0:35:570:36:00

and makes sure her head is kept clear of the sides of the pit.

0:36:000:36:04

Right, come in a bit, Perry, this way, come on.

0:36:060:36:09

This is such a delicate process.

0:36:090:36:10

Crane operator, Perry, has to be pit side.

0:36:100:36:14

Any sudden problem

0:36:140:36:15

and Perry can stop the rescue from the remote box that he's carrying.

0:36:150:36:19

Perry, when you come up, don't go too high,

0:36:220:36:27

just swing her out as far as you can go.

0:36:270:36:29

At last, Annie's back can be seen as she's lifted clear of the pit.

0:36:290:36:34

That was the worst bit for me

0:36:350:36:37

because I actually thought she'd gone.

0:36:370:36:39

I just thought I'd lost her, I just thought that was the end of her.

0:36:390:36:43

One of her legs could be badly injured.

0:36:460:36:48

The horse rug has become wrapped around a hind leg.

0:36:480:36:51

Depending on how tight that rug is, it may have

0:36:530:36:56

limited the blood supply to the rest of the limb.

0:36:560:36:58

She could have a skin injury.

0:36:580:37:00

The skin could then possibly slough off or, you know, even worse,

0:37:000:37:04

there'd be damage to the actual internal structures of the foot.

0:37:040:37:08

She looked like she was dead.

0:37:090:37:11

Her mouth was open.

0:37:110:37:12

There was muck dripping off her. Her legs were just hanging.

0:37:120:37:15

Perry, go over that way a bit. I can't go any further.

0:37:150:37:19

The horse is heavily sedated and can't stand on her own.

0:37:190:37:22

They need to guide her legs to one side as they lower her.

0:37:220:37:25

Despite the drugs, there is a chance Annie will suddenly recover.

0:37:300:37:34

They can't risk her going anywhere near the pit again.

0:37:340:37:38

Everyone ready? Go!

0:37:380:37:40

It takes the strength of 14 firefighters to move the half ton horse.

0:37:400:37:44

-Keep going. I want her right out the way of them stumps.

-That's it guys.

0:37:440:37:49

Good. Head sheet.

0:37:490:37:52

Now, at last, vet Suzanne can check Annie over.

0:37:530:37:57

I couldn't feel any breaks. Luckily there didn't seem to be that many superficial wounds either.

0:37:590:38:03

Come on, girl.

0:38:030:38:05

We had her on oxygen just because again we weren't sure

0:38:050:38:08

if she was going to have been limited to the oxygen

0:38:080:38:10

with the gases from the sewage.

0:38:100:38:12

It's doing what it would do. It needs to roll over...

0:38:120:38:17

which might stimulate it enough to get it up.

0:38:170:38:20

It's been on that side now for hours.

0:38:200:38:23

It's rather like watching a film laying on the settee.

0:38:230:38:26

You sit for hours watching the film

0:38:260:38:28

and then when you go to get up, the side you've laid on is dead.

0:38:280:38:31

The blood circulation has not worked as well

0:38:310:38:34

and so you've got a dead leg.

0:38:340:38:35

Well that horse had the same feeling on one side.

0:38:350:38:38

Both its lower limbs where effectively dead legs.

0:38:380:38:42

So we have got a technique where you roll the horse over

0:38:420:38:45

onto its good side.

0:38:450:38:46

That releases all the pressure on its inner organs

0:38:460:38:49

but also stimulates the blood flow in the body.

0:38:490:38:52

And that normally powers the horse up.

0:38:520:38:54

That's it. Bring it right over the chest there.

0:38:540:38:57

All you do...

0:38:570:38:58

-Get two or three on each line.

-Ready, one, two, three, pull.

0:38:590:39:03

Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking. Well done.

0:39:050:39:09

I was told that she had been very heavily sedated and would probably take a good

0:39:110:39:15

40 minutes before she actually stood on her legs.

0:39:150:39:18

It's when she stood on her legs would be the moment that they

0:39:180:39:20

would know whether she had done any damage to them.

0:39:200:39:23

They won't know until she gets up if she has suffered serious injury.

0:39:230:39:28

They put straw bales around her to support her.

0:39:280:39:30

All they can do now is wait and hope.

0:39:330:39:36

So, did Annie manage to get back on her feet?

0:39:390:39:41

It took some time but she did finally stand, much to the relief of Jo,

0:39:410:39:45

her owner, and all the rescue team.

0:39:450:39:47

Four months on, you would hardly recognise her.

0:39:470:39:50

This is the same horse.

0:39:500:39:52

However, she did need specialist treatment

0:39:520:39:54

and three nights in an equine hospital to treat her injuries.

0:39:540:39:59

They were mainly concerned about her eye.

0:39:590:40:01

But they said she hadn't lost her eye and her sight was fine.

0:40:010:40:04

The cleaned it all up.

0:40:050:40:06

Gave her two nice hot warm baths because she absolutely stunk.

0:40:060:40:09

And they allowed her home on the Monday afternoon

0:40:090:40:12

with medication and a vet to call out for the next three weeks.

0:40:120:40:15

Back out in the field with her friends and, yeah,

0:40:150:40:18

you would ever know it had happened.

0:40:180:40:19

Well, sadly for us, we weren't able to bring Annie the horse in here

0:40:190:40:22

but we've got the next best thing, Buster Brown here...

0:40:220:40:25

Well done, Buster. ..who was instrumental in the rescue.

0:40:250:40:27

-Thank you.

-I noticed, very, very quickly, when I was watching that film,

0:40:270:40:32

that you weren't in the cesspit. Why is that?

0:40:320:40:34

Well, when you put people in that sort of mess,

0:40:340:40:36

you don't go in there yourself, do you?

0:40:360:40:39

That's why I've got my pips. I know when to stand back.

0:40:390:40:41

Yes, I understand that. I have to say, watching that,

0:40:410:40:44

I could almost smell it. Was it bad?

0:40:440:40:46

It was particularly bad.

0:40:460:40:48

A cesspit is full of human waste.

0:40:480:40:51

Not too much detail.

0:40:510:40:53

And the aroma was very, very strong.

0:40:530:40:56

HE LAUGHS

0:40:560:40:58

How long did it take for those two boys to get themselves clean and free of that smell?

0:40:580:41:02

I imagine they smelt it the following morning in the nostrils.

0:41:020:41:05

-You didn't get them a lift home, I bet.

-I didn't! Oh, I actually gave one a lift, yeah!

0:41:050:41:09

-Did you?

-Yes, I did.

0:41:090:41:10

But he had had a shower before he got in the truck.

0:41:100:41:13

I bet he did!

0:41:130:41:14

-Well, well done, you.

-Thank you.

0:41:140:41:16

What I notice, obviously you had to sedate the horse

0:41:160:41:18

because it would have panicked in the cesspit.

0:41:180:41:21

But you didn't have all the right equipment there to do that job.

0:41:210:41:24

You had to make it up. Tell me what you did. You brought this.

0:41:240:41:27

That is correct.

0:41:270:41:28

The trouble was the horse was in an environment that was dangerous for us to enter

0:41:280:41:32

and the animal needed to be sedated.

0:41:320:41:34

It was a joint rescue using West Sussex Fire Brigade

0:41:340:41:38

and Hampshire Fire And Rescue Service.

0:41:380:41:40

So, what we'd made up on three of these poles together was a syringe

0:41:400:41:44

-taped to the end.

-Yeah?

0:41:440:41:46

The vet was able to jab the horse with one

0:41:460:41:49

and then I was able to push this one down and push the plunger in.

0:41:490:41:55

-Fantastic.

-It's not a professional way of doing it. A very sensible...

0:41:550:42:00

So jab sticks are commercially available but they don't

0:42:000:42:03

serve our purpose in an emergency environment

0:42:030:42:06

so Hampshire Fire And Rescue Service and an engineer

0:42:060:42:10

are designing this

0:42:100:42:13

and this is going to be a purpose-built syringe for jabbing horses.

0:42:130:42:17

-Brilliant.

-And the idea is that it's got compressed air in there.

0:42:170:42:20

When it hits the animal it plunges like that.

0:42:200:42:24

That lever opens up. Compressed air will then push the piston

0:42:240:42:28

-and push the syringe to administer the sedation.

-Good bit of kit.

0:42:280:42:31

-Have you seen the horse?

-I have, yes.

0:42:310:42:33

I saw it a few days later as well and it was looking very, very good.

0:42:330:42:36

-Very clean.

-Brilliant. Well done. And clean?

-She was not injured.

0:42:360:42:39

-She was fine after everything.

-She had a head injury.

0:42:390:42:41

-But other than that she was fine.

-Good.

-Lovely to see you, Buster.

0:42:410:42:44

-Thank you.

-Well done, Buster. He smells all right, doesn't he?

0:42:440:42:48

-He always does. That's it from Real Rescues. We'll see you next time. Bye-bye.

-Bye.
