Teams from NIFRS rescued our son who had fallen over fifteen foot at Strangford harbour and broken his spine. The rescue was complex and difficult and your teams were amazing! We as a family are so grateful and are delighted to say Johnny is home from hospital and doing well. His injuries will heal and there’s no paralysis. We have no doubt the Firefighter teams and urban rescue team who assisted helped ensure that Johnny’s injuries weren’t worsened by being moving too quickly or the wrong way.
We would like to see everyone in person and thank them personally but in the meantime please pass on our thanks.
I am not sure where they all came from, but I think Downpatrick and the surrounding area, Belfast for the urban rescue team and perhaps others too. I can never thank them enough!
Amazing, professional people doing an amazing job.
Many, many thanks
From Lisa, Paul, Jude our eldest son who witnessed the whole thing and of course wee Johnny, our hero!
