Emergency responders hurried to a city center pub following reports of a man falling approximately 12 feet. Paramedics quickly arrived at the Vernon Arms in Liverpool at midday today after receiving information about the man falling into a barrel trap inside the establishment. The individual was evaluated on-site and subsequently transported to the hospital for further treatment.
North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) vehicles were stationed near Dale Street for nearly an hour as emergency personnel managed the situation before transferring the man to the hospital. Both the Fire and Ambulance Service were involved in the emergency response.
A representative from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service stated that they were called to an incident on Dale Street in Liverpool earlier in the day. Upon receiving the alert at 12:20 pm regarding a rescue operation, one fire engine reached the scene by 12:23 pm. However, it was determined that minimal fire service intervention was necessary, leading to the cancellation of additional fire engine deployment and the search and rescue team.
Firefighters remained on-site to assist the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) in helping the individual up the cellar stairs and into an ambulance. The casualty was then taken to the hospital for treatment.
