Types of Incident
Each year in the UK almost as many people drown as are killed by fire and therefore the dangers associated with working in, on or near water should not be underestimated.
In the last six years the Rescue Boat (SY 07) and Towing vehicle (SY 70) have been mobilised over 195 times to water related incidents, these include:
|
Animal rescues |
|
Assistance to Environment Agency |
|
Assistance to Police |
|
Boat fires |
|
Body recoveries |
|
Flooding |
|
Suicides |
|
Vehicles in water (persons reported) |
|
Water rescues |
|
|
All too often signs such as 'DANGER - No Bathing' are ignored, especially in the warm weather and often with fatal consequences
Water Safety Awareness Campaign
Be Safe Around Water - Don't Drink and Drown
