New Equipment


For the last few years, we would go and collect flares from the public or that wash up on the beach. These would be held and collected by the Sector Manager and then passed to the bomb disposal squad who get rid of them!


Now flares are dangerous in the wrong hands, some are rockets and some have chemicals in them that can burn the skin, so the Coastguard have now issued big gloves and a face shield when we collect these things.
