The IRT were tasked to Anvil Point Lighthouse this afternoon following a 'dropped call' from the emergency telephone to the HMCoastguard Operations Room (MRCC).
The telephone automatically connects to the Ops Room when picked up and it would appear someone picked the phone up and put it down again; perhaps out of curiosity rather than ill intent.
The team are routinely sent to firstly check there isn't an emergency, and secondly to offer words of advice to people you might be messing round with it. On this occasion the IRT spoke to the a family holidaying at the lighthouse who confirmed that they had not seen any other children using it.
