A MAN suffered burns when a rubbish fire got out of control at a farm in Swansea.

The Wales Air Ambulance flew him to Morriston Hospital suffering from burns to the arms, chest and neck.

A fire crew from Morriston dealt with the blaze at Rosedale Farm in Birchgrove this afternoon.

    “generally if an accident happened 50 miles from Morriston sounds to me it would be Haverfordwest Hospital or West Wales Hospital , Glangwili Carmarthen for the patient then. With or without an air-a mbulance. Be gratefull that we do have an airbourne ambulance which can be used .Wasnt there an incident the other day involving a missing child , did you complain of any mis-use that day for the services provided too? Have something to complain later this month with the air show in Swansea why dont you while you are at it . Now that to me would be more worthy of a complaint not the air ambulance for a waste of resources etc.”

    “Kaylee.
    You get the point but you dont get the point.
    The gentleman could have died waiting for the air ambulance to arrive to take him just a mile or so.
    When a person is injured get them to hospital asap not wait for the air ambulance to take you a mile.
    After the air ambulance arrives at the hosiptal they will put the patient in an ambulance to go to the accident and emergency.”
