Tonight co-responder crews from Helston and St Mawes have been mobilised to incidents. The crews have given care and support to patients until the arrival of an ambulance.

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 NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT). The scheme has been running since 1999, serving the communities of St. Keverne, St. Ives, Mullion, St. Mawes, Helston and Polruan.
