An operational officer from the South Western Ambulance Service attended the scene alongside firefighters from Greenbank, Camels Head, Plymstock, and Crownhill fire stations.

A total of three fire engines, a full Tactical Rescue Team, and an Aerial Ladder Platform (ALP) were swiftly mobilised by Fire Control, along with a Working at Height Tactical Advisor and an Operational Assurance Officer.
