Burnham-On-Sea Coastguards were called out to help a person reported to be in a ‘distressed state’ near the town’s sailing club last week.
Burnham Coastguards were alerted following an evening of training last Wednesday night (February 28th). Fortunately, the incident was quickly resolved.
“After an evening of casualty packaging and extraction training we were just packing up ready to go home when we were tasked to assist the Ambulance service,” says a spokesman.
“Our team made its way to the yacht club where the situation was under control. We returned to our station to repack the kit and headed home.”
“If you have an emergency along the coast, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”
