Explosion in Ryhope
We were called to the Rosslyn Avenue area of Ryhope at 8.48 am this morning. We dispatched a paramedic ambulance crew following an update from them we deployed our Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) and two officers and requested support from Great North Air Ambulance (GNAAS).
Working with our emergency service colleagues we rescued and treated one patient, suffering burns who was in a serious but stable condition. We have taken the casualty to the Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary by paramedic ambulance with the GNAAS doctor on board.
Our HART officers currently remain on scene to continue to support Northumbria Police and Tyne and Wear Fire.
