Major rescue after person plunges 30ft from rope swing

According to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, a crew was called to Cackle Street in Brede where they had fallen down a steep slope into a wooded area at around 12.30pm.

A crew from Rye was first on the scene for the fire service, and was backed up by a four wheel drive from The Ridge in Hastings, said ESFRS.

The aerial ladder platform and another fire engine from Bohemia Road in Hastings joined them.

Working alongside the ambulance service, ESFRS said the four wheel drive was used to take firefighters to the casualty, who was rescued using a basket stretcher.

The casualty was left in the care of paramedics and the air ambulance.
