Yesterday evening, Malta’s Civil Protection Department received a report of a woman who had gotten lost while trekking in the l-Aħrax area of Mellieħa.
CPD rescuers from Fire Stations 1, 3 and 5 were immediately deployed and initiated search operations.
The individual was subsequently located in an area which was difficult to access, with rescuers requiring rope access techniques to reach her.
CPD rescue swimmers then assisted the casualty onto the CPD Delta 2 vessel using an inflatable stretcher, after which she was transferred safely to shore.
The casualty sustained only slight injuries.
