Busy Evening for Coastguard
The second shoutout was at Laxey where a person had fallen from a footpath
Douglas Coastguards had three incidents to deal with within four hours on Monday evening.
While the first was at Douglas Harbour and didn’t amount to anything, the second was at Laxey where a person had fallen from a footpath which landed them in ED at Noble’s for further treatment.
The final call was to the cliff below the road at Port Jack where two youngsters had got stuck after climbing the cliff face.
The Coastguard said: ‘One managed to self recover on our arrival but the other had to be recovered by ourselves, both of them were none the worse for their ordeal and have learned a valuable lesson not to attempt this in the future and are fully aware of what danger they had put themselves in.
‘Thanks must also go to the help from the Police for this job putting the road closure in place to allow us to work from the roadway, also thanks to our control room staff for coordinating all three incidents.’
