In South Yorkshire, a waste disposal plant catches fire and the team must evacuate residents and treat workers injured in the blast as red-hot aerosol cans rain down from the sky.

Elsewhere, team leader Rochers races to save the life of a DIY mechanic trapped under his one-ton car after a jack collapses. When a sunbathing teenager plunges off a 40ft cliff local paramedics call for back-up from HART after they diagnose a potentially serious spinal injury. Meanwhile, a dispute on a building site ends with a pick-axe embedded in the bonnet of a brand-new Range Rover and the man wielding it requiring first aid for a nasty eye injury.
