The Palmerston North based Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to Alfredton this morning at around 9:45 am to a man in his 60's suffering a medical emergency. He was stabilised by St John paramedics before he was airlifted to Palmerston North. The helicopter was dispatched due to the remote location and the distance to Hospital.
