The rescue mission off one of the Wrekin's steep inclines was carried out by Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service in Wellington on Saturday morning.

Staff from West Midlands Ambulance Service were also at the scene to give medical assistance.

At 9.27am, the fire service received a call reporting an urgent incident at the Wrekin.

Three fire appliances, including the incident support unit, were sent from Telford Central station, Tweedale station and Wellington Station. An operations officer was in attendance.

The crews used rope rescue equipment on one of the Wrekin's steep inclines to carefully descend one person who needed medical assistance from the waiting ambulance service staff.

They used a line rescue to get the person down the incline, where the ambulance service could then treat them.

They left the scene at 11.46am.
