BOLTON Mountain Rescue Team helped two young girls who were injured while crossing a stream in Smithills.
Bolton MRT were contacted by the North West Ambulance Service for assistance with the incident at Captains Clough at 4.19pm on January 23.
Two young girls were injured while crossing a stream and the ambulance required assistance carrying the girls up a steep sided, muddy slope.
A spokesman for Bolton MRT said: “A full team callout was initiated, with two members already at our Ladybridge Hall base able to respond immediately in one of our Land Rover Ambulances.
“As more team members responded to the incident, two SAR Alpine Lite stretchers were deployed to the site.
“Ropes were deployed to the site to assist with access. The two girls were placed into casualty bags to protect them from falling temperatures before being transferred onto the stretchers.”
After being carried up the slope, the girls were transferred to ambulance.
The spokesman added: “We would like to wish the two girls a speedy recovery.”
