A young person from Barnsley taking part in a fire service development scheme has been praised by paramedics for coming to the aid of an older person.
Harry Prew arrived late for a session at Barnsley fire station, as part of South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue’s Prince’s Trust Team Program. It was only later that it was revealed he’d discovered an older man in a ditch. He called the emergency services-waiting with the man and made him comfortable, until the ambulance service arrived on the scene.
Real sense of achievement
Paramedics later dropped in to personally thank Harry for the caring attitude he showed.
Prince’s Trust Team Pioneer, John Daley, said: “Harry has been very modest about his actions, but he displayed great professionalism and compassion and is another example of the amazing potential in all young people.”
