Medical incident

 The team had a busy Saturday when the patrol were tasked to Ocean Bay and a report of two people fallen from a jet ski. Whilst the patrol were on route the rest of the team along with St Albans Coastguard and Swanage RNLI inshore lifeboat were paged to attend. 

On arrival it was found the pair had safely made it ashore having capsized the craft.  As they were being checked out another incident came in near to the stone quay of a person with a badly broke ankle.  

Both Coastguard teams proceeded and the lifeboat and located a male on a nearby pontoon.  

Treatment was given until the arrival of the air ambulance due to the nature of the injuries. 

Prince Albert gardens was cleared to allow the air ambulance to land safely. 

With everyone working together the male was stretchered to the aircraft and flown to Dorchester hospital. 

Prince Albert Gardens cleared for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance
