The pair called the emergency services prompting the North West Ambulance Service and Great North Air Ambulance to attend. The GNAAS then landed in a field behind their home. From there, they were flown to the RVI where Rory received immediate treatment.Ms Smith said: "The doctors were worried Rory might need a skin graft so we went back to the RVI three days after getting home.Mrs Smith said the family felt "so lucky" that the air ambulance had arrived "when we needed them".
She added: "We've since been told without GNAAS, Rory might have not been able to get to the RVI until the following day and by then the outcome could have been so different."
