A casualty had to be carried across Dartmoor to a waiting ambulance after injuring themselves on the moor.
Plymouth and Tavistock Dartmoor Search and Rescue teams were called on to rescue the casualty on Sunday evening.
The volunteers were called on to carry a casualty across difficult and dangerous terrain to an awaiting ambulance crew.
The teams were called 11pm last night to a man who had fallen into the River Plym near the Dewerstone rocks.
He had a suspected broken femur and was stabilised at the scene before the Plymouth and Tavistock teams stretchered him off.
He was at the ambulance by 2.15am.
The incident came just a few hours after the Plymouth team spent the weekend training on the Dewerstone rocks.
The exercise was to 'rescue a live casualty from height' using belays, ropes and a Bell stretcher.
