International rescue

local council

Health & Safety representative

union rep

Tree hugger

media spokesman or women

the press

(isnt it funny how 20 years a go the local council man in a van would have turned up, lobbed the bricks in his boot and taken them back to the depot)

now you have to have a global incedant "just in case somthing should happen"

The Times ran the story yesterday:-

"Walker is freed by 38 emergency staff after becoming stuck in a hole

A walker triggered a major rescue operation involving 22 firefighters and three separate emergency services crews when he became stuck in beach mud (Alexi Mostrous writes).

Luciano Vitiello was on the beach in Dorset when he stepped into the quagmire and began to sink. As he tried to free himself, he sank deeper and within seconds he was three feet down. Two boys on the beach tried to help but they also started to sink.

When his wife, Kathy, called the emergency services, twenty-two firefighters, seven coastguards, six police officers and two paramedics – from two counties – arrived at the scene. It took them two hours to free Mr Vitiello, an architect, who was taken to hospital. The couple, both 55, of Barking, East London, were visiting their son in Bournemouth.

Mrs Vitiello said: “One moment we were walking side by side, the next he just stepped in this hole. Every time he tried to lift one leg out, the side he was putting the pressure on just went down deeper and deeper.”

Richard Coleman, of Dorset Fire and Rescue Service, said: “There were quite a few of us . . . A couple of other people had been stuck earlier in the day but were able to be released. This gentleman was far too stuck.”
