Hazardous response team and air ambulance involved in 'complex' medical emergency at Baglan home

Multiple emergency services dealt with a 'complex' incident in Baglan today, during which a woman was given medical treatment.

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service and the Welsh Ambulance Service sent vehicles to Cedar Gardens just after 11.30am this morning.

Crews carried out what they described as a ‘complex’ rescue, using specialist equipment.

The Ambulance Service declined to comment on reports a casualty was evacuated from a property through an upstairs window.

But the window of a property in the area did appear to have been removed.

A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesman said: “We were called to a medical emergency at a private address in Baglan at around 10.55am today, Monday, February 3.

“We sent community first responders, a paramedic in a rapid response car and an emergency ambulance to the scene where crews were also supported by the trust’s hazardous area response team and a Wales Air Ambulance.”

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said they sent crews from Port Talbot and Neath, with a further crew attending from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service’s Bridgend station.

A spokesman added: “Crews performed a complex rescue using specialist equipment and assisted the ambulance service in administering medical attention to a female casualty”.
