The incident reportedly occurred at a construction site on Yarrow Central Road where an addition is being constructed onto a church.

“Members of the RCMP were dispatched to a report of a fall,” RCMP spokesperson Corporal Teresa Parsons said. “My understanding is that the injured person was transported by air ambulance to hospital but I do not know the extent of their injuries. There is not believed to be any criminal element to the incident.”

An air ambulance landed at Yarrow Community School at about 8:40 a.m. and departed at roughly 9:15 a.m. for a hospital. Students from the nearby school were not outside when the ambulance landed. Around the time that the patient was being transported from a ground ambulance to a helicopter, two RCMP units and an ambulance were stationed at a construction site at Yarrow Alliance Church on Yarrow Central Road.
