8 year old boy rescued from Torquay Quarry

His Mum called the Fire Service last night.

Fire Crews received the call just after 1930 last night (Wednesday 15th May) from a mother saying her son had become stuck approximately 40ft high on a rock face.

They dispatched a crew from Torquay, along with a specialist rescue team from Camel Head.

On arrival, the Incident Commander found the boy stuck on a rock face in a Quarry. Crews quickly got to work to rescue the boy, before he was checked over by Ambulance crews.
