On Saturday night, police were notified of a health assignment at Reinsfjellet in Gjemnes, where a man is said to have injured his leg.
The main rescue center in southern Norway (HRS) has informed the police that they have sent a Sea King rescue helicopter to the scene, and they have also requisitioned Red Cross crews.
He is a student in the popular high school
Rbnett received information that the injured person is a student at Nordvestlandet Folkehøgskole in Torvikbukt in Gjemnes, formerly Høgtun Folkehøgskole. This is confirmed by the director there, Bjarte Grøteide, when Rbnett contacts him a little before kl. 22.
– The wounded man is a student with us, yes, he says, on his way down the mountain after assisting the wounded man along with four others.
The hikers were three students who walked in their free time, in the area between Nøssa and Reinsfjellet. The principal went up there with another adult from the school and three neighbors: two adults and a young man.
– When we got up, we agreed to send the other two students back. They were a bit cold, but have recovered well with a member of the school staff. They are doing well.
The group that went up into the mountains to help brought some food, clothing, and a sleeping bag.
There were four of us who were with the injured student until the helicopter arrived and picked him up. The general condition was good, but it was obviously not comfortable to injure his foot, he says.
The injury occurred after the student fell in an area near the climb to Reinsfjellet itself, but Grøteide does not know if the foot was broken or not.
– Now all have been taken care of and fortunately everything has gone well, says the director.
The Red Cross turned
On Friday evening there was activity at the Red Cross house at the door of Assistant Professor Dørums in Molde, where the Molde Red Cross Auxiliary Corps is based.
Operations manager Ole Jan Tønnesen confirms that they were asked for help when Rbnett spoke to him at 21.15.
– We are eight who have moved in with equipment to recover an injured person from Reinsfjellet. But now we just got a message from AMK saying the man was picked up by a Sea King from Ørlandet and flown to Kristiansund hospital.
The Molde Red Cross group then passed through Fursetfjellet and reached Gjemnes.
– Then the action stops. It is a completely normal situation, this type of summons. When a helicopter is ordered, it may happen that it receives other assignments or there is no flight time. Therefore, AMK often double runs in such a situation, to make sure they can help. When it’s cold like now, it’s important that things happen quickly, says Tønnesen.
The report was received by the police at 8.14pm Saturday night.
