Man treated for injuries by Dublin Fire Brigade after horror scrambler accident near Finglas

Dublin Fire Brigade came to the rescue again as they aided a man who was involved in a scrambler accident near Finglas on Sunday afternoon.

The motorcycle user was treated for his injuries after he fell off the scrambler on waste ground in the Balseskin area.

A SKED rescue stretcher was used to transfer the injured man over some of the rough ground around the area and into the waiting ambulance.

The SKED stretcher is made of durable plastic which provides protection for the patient while allowing extrication through the most demanding confined spaces.

DFB took to twitter to confirm the successful rescue.

They said: "Crews from Finglas and Phibsborough, including a Firefighter/Advanced-Paramedic, treated a motorcycle user for injuries after they came off their scrambler on waste ground near Balseskin earlier.

"A SKED was used to take the patient over rough ground to the waiting ambulance."
