On Monday afternoon the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter crew were tasked with a flight to Ruatahuna, located in the Te Urewera’s, 90 kilometres west of Gisborne, and 18 kilometres northwest of Lake Waikaremoana.
The crew picked up a status 1 – 50-year-old male with an acute medical condition. He was treated at the scene by the onboard Intensive Care Paramedic before being transported to Rotorua Hospital.
We here at the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter have a policy of keeping the media informed of our work. We do this as a service to the media and in an effort to raise our profile with the public to assist with our fundraising campaigns. Our service is only possible because of sponsor support and donations. We appreciate seeing our name in any stories utilising information supplied by us.
