Our website at www.swanagecoastguard.org.uk has had some work done on it so some people may see an error message.
It is still running and you may need to delete your history and this seems to correct the problem.
On the website is a list of our incidents and our history.
In the summer we would expect a busy day but not normally four incidents during the day in November.
The first call today was a report of a washed up life raft near to Old Harry. The team deployed and located an oil drum washed up but were unable to get to it due to it location and the tide. The local authority have been informed but it will be difficult to recover in its current location.
Retuning from that incident the team investigated a fire on the beach at Middle Beach. Thankfully it was controlled burning.
Later in the afternoon the team were paged again to support South Western Ambulance near to the chain ferry. A male required to be stretchered to the ambulance having fallen and suffered possible spinal injuries.
Whilst dealing with the medical incident the team were made aware of a possible ordnance incident at Knoll beach. The team joined police and waited for the EOD team to arrive.
The object was heavily corroded and the EOD have taken it for disposal.
In these difficult times we must not forget those both military and civilians who lost their lives in previous conflicts.
We may not be able to carry the normal service but they remain in our thoughts.
We will remember them.
In poor weather conditions the team arrived at Hamworthy to be briefed on the search plan but thankfully the Police confirmed they had located the female safe in the town centre.
Returning back to Swanage the team stopped to remove a large branch that was blocking the road at Sandford and a wheelie bin which had blown into the road in Corfe.
