Emergency Services Rescue Person from Water at Maryport Harbour

Yahoo4 hours ago
A multi-agency emergency response was launched on the evening of Sunday, July 6, after reports of a person in the water at Maryport Harbour.
The call came in at 5:38pm and was coordinated by Belfast Coastguard.
Due to low tidal conditions, the responding team deployed their Emergency Rescue Boat (ERB), which quickly crossed the harbour to reach the area of concern.
Working alongside Cumbria Police, responders located a casualty in the water. The individual was brought to safety and received initial medical care on site.
The person was then transferred to the care of North West Ambulance Service, with additional support from Maryport and Whitehaven Coastguard Rescue Teams.
The Great North Air Ambulance Service also arrived to provide further medical assessment.
Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service were also in attendance during the operation.
A spokesperson for the Maryport Rescue Team praised the coordinated efforts of all agencies involved, stating: 'This was a well-executed operation that demonstrated the effectiveness of emergency services working together under challenging conditions.'
No further details about the casualty's condition have been released.

French police are slashing migrant boats but they're still reaching the UK at a record-setting pace

Across the English Channel, the white cliffs of the U.K beckon. On fine days, men and women with children in their arms and determination in their eyes can see the shoreline of what they believe will be a promised land as they attempt the perilous crossing clandestinely, ditching belongings to squeeze aboard flimsy inflatable boats that set to sea from northern France. In a flash, on one recent crossing attempt, French police swooped in with knives, wading into the water and slashing at the boat's thin rubber — literally deflating the migrants' hopes and dreams.
