CALLOUT: The team was called yesterday evening to assist our colleagues from Western Beacons MSRT with a search for a missing 82yo female and her collie dog in the Tonmawr area.

Along with teams from South Wales Police : Heddlu De Cymru and members of the local community a number of areas were covered through until the early hours.

Unfortunately the lady was not located during this initial phase and we stood down shortly before 04:00, (just in time to get a couple of hours sleep) pending further police enquiries.

Later this morning we again responded to support WBMSRT, South Wales Police and the NPAS helicopter with the ongoing search operations.

Glad to report that the missing lady and her dog were spotted by the NPAS helicopter and resources on the ground went to her aid, ensuring she received appropriate medical care. She was then evacuated back to the control point and although having been through a bit of an ordeal she was safe and well; her loyal dog who had remained with her throughout was fine too.
