Air Ambulance called to medical emergency in Flint

A Wales Air Ambulance and paramedics were called to a medical emergency at one of the Flint tower blocks this afternoon.

Paul sent us a picture (above) of the distinctive red helicopter soon after it had touched down on the playing field off Aber Road just after 2pm.

A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson said:

“We were called today (November 30, 2018) at approximately 1.40pm to reports of an incident on Bolingstoke Heights, Flint.

We responded with a Rapid Response Vehicle, an Emergency Ambulance and an Air Ambulance.”

The ambulance service have not given any information on the condition of the person they were called to attend to.

The helicopter took off around 3.10pm and headed back to the Wales Air Ambulance base in Welshpool.

Wales Air Ambulance is an all Wales charity providing emergency air cover for those who face life-threatening life illness or injuries.

The charity needs to raise £6.5 million every year to operate the service.

The charity raises all the funds required for the day-to-day running of missions, with each mission on average costing £1500.
