Lovin Malta, citing a CPD statement, reported that rescuers from Fire Stations 1, 5 and 10 were sent to the site after reports that a woman needed medical attention. A medical team from Mater Dei Hospital’s Emergency Department was also dispatched, assessed her on site and provided immediate care.
The decisive detail was not the callout itself but the route out. Civil Protection said the terrain around St Peter’s Pool was difficult enough that rescuers transferred the casualty onto a rigid-hulled inflatable boat rather than moving her over land.
She was taken to Fire Station 10, where an ambulance crew assumed further care.
No further details were given about the woman’s condition or about what led to the medical emergency. That limit is worth keeping. The available facts do not support a sermon about recklessness. They do support a simpler point: in some of Malta’s coastal spots, the landscape still dictates how public rescue works.
In this case, the state’s answer was a multi-station CPD response, an emergency medical team and a boat. Civil Protection also thanked the Mater Dei emergency team for its assistance and cooperation during the operation.
