Cornwall Air Ambulance Crew’s Busy Weekend: 14 Missions Across Cornwall and Devon

Cornwall Air Ambulance had a whirlwind weekend, responding to 14 emergency incidents across Cornwall and into Devon. The crew’s missions spanned several locations, including Newquay, Jacobstow, Launceston, Bodmin, Redruth, Roche, Grampound Road, and Bigbury-on-Sea.

Multiple Missions and Critical Transfers

The team’s helicopter was a constant presence in the skies, making numerous trips to Derriford Hospital to ensure patients received the specialist care they needed. Among the busiest locations was Perranporth, where the crew was called out twice on Saturday alone. Each mission underscored the vital role of Cornwall Air Ambulance in providing rapid response and critical care across the region.

Collaboration with Local Rescue Teams

In a testament to the collaborative nature of emergency services, the St Agnes Coastguard Search & Rescue Team supported the Cornwall Air Ambulance crew at scenes over the weekend. The Coastguard team also shared photos from the incident sites, highlighting the on-ground efforts of the rescue operations.
