DUBAI The Air Wing of the Dubai Police has rescued a 55-year-old UAE national woman, who broke her leg while collecting honey in Fujairah.
Pilot Brigadier Anas Al Matroushi, Deputy Director of Rescue and Transportation of the Dubai Police Operation Room, said that police teams of the Dubai Police Air Wing succeeded to rescue the woman who was unable to move after her leg was broken in Wadi Al Munai in Al Fujairah area. He said the Operation Room of the Dubai Police received a call on Tuesday that the woman called her family and told them that she fell on the ground and she could not move, but she was in stable condition.
A team of the air wing rushed to the site, but found difficulty in landing on the rocky area where she was lying. So the police used a ladder and one of the policemen got down and carefully lifted the woman, who could not move, and took her to the plane.
Al Matroushi said that the police professional managed to lift the woman to the plane and provided her with first aid before referring her to the hospital for medical treatment.
He said that the Air Wing of the Dubai Police had conducted 1,024 missions in 2010, including the rescue of people who were injured in traffic accidents and transporting people to hospitals in 171 emergency cases.
He said that they conducted 74 training missions, 332 day tours and 240 night tours in 2010.
During the last five months, the department conducted 86 missions for transporting patients and injured people, and conducted 103 day tours and 66 night tours in addition to 75 various operations and training of the staff. He said that the Air Wing also intervened and rescued a man, who was injured in a traffic accident on Dubai – Al Ain Road on Tuesday.
A vehicle driven by an AGCC national hit an Asian while he was trying to cross the road to meet his friend who told him not to cross the road on the highway from non-designated area. But, he did not listen.
He said that the man, who was in critical condition, was transported to the hospital by the rescue team.
Al Matroushi called on the public not to gather around in accident scenes as the Air Wing and rescue teams faced difficulties in landing due to people, who stopped their cars to watch the accidents.
