Mountain rescue volunteers were called out four times at the end of September and dealt with injuries.
Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team responded to incidents in Accrington, Foulridge, and Roughlee between September 20 and 29.
On September 20, the team was called to Hameldon Hill to assist an injured biker but was stood down after learning the person had made their own way to hospital.
Two days later, on September 22, the team was requested by North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) to help a farmer in Foulridge who had suffered a serious leg injury after falling in a field.
The farmer was treated at the scene and then transported to hospital.
On September 23, the team was again contacted by NWAS to assist with evacuating a patient with COPD from a farm in Roughlee.

However, the team was stood down after the ambulance crew was able to help without additional support.
The final call-out came on the evening of September 29, when the team was asked to assist at an incident in woodland in Accrington.
A spokesperson for Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team said: "A rope system was utilised to evacuate the casualty up a steep muddy embankment and then transferred to the road head using our AWD ambulance."
