A Co-responder crew from Helston Community Fire Station assisted Ambulance with an incident. The crew monitored the patient until a Rapid Response Car arrived.

From 1 April 2015 until 1 December 2016, we have attended 1301 co-responder calls.

Firefighters from six Community Fire Stations in Cornwall help the community by not only providing fire cover but also act as a co-response resource in medical care, through partnership with South Western Ambulance Service Foundation Trust (SWASFT). The scheme has been running since 1999, serving the communities of St. Keverne, St. Ives, Mullion, St. Mawes, Helston and Polruan.
