A man had to be carried away on a stretcher, and an ambulance became stuck in the snow, after a busy few days for the Bowland and Pennine Mountain team.
The emergency services have been left to deal with injuries and delays linked to the cold snap, with the mountain rescue team being called out four times in the last four days.
On January 12, at around 2.45pm, a man suffered an ankle injury on Parlick fell.
The injured ankle was splinted and the man was given pain relief. He was taken to an ambulance on a stretcher.
The mountain rescue team was also called to assist a sledger who became stuck in the snow in Tarnbrook.
The team also helped a patient in Chipping when an ambulance became stuck in the snow.
A spokesperson for Bowland and Pennine Mountain Rescue said: “As the cold weather spell continues and people have been out enjoying the snow, the team has been called out four times in the last four days.
“At 2.45 on Sunday, January 12, we were called to a gentleman who had suffered a very painful ankle injury in the snow on Parlick fell.
“The first team member on scene put up a group shelter to keep the gentleman warm and when further team members arrived with medical equipment we splinted the injured ankle and provided pain relief. We then used our Bell stretcher to sledge and carry the man off the hill to an awaiting ambulance.
“We have also been called to assist a young sledger, a man stuck in snow in the Tarnbrook area and to assist North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust with a patient in Chipping when the ambulance was stuck in the snow and ice.
“There is still ice and snow around in some places, so please make sure you are fully equipped for the conditions if you head out to enjoy the fells.”
