Emergency services are currently dealing with an incident on a fishing boat in Douglas Harbour.
In addition to fire, police and coastguard, a rescue helicopter has also been involved.
The fire service has since said: ‘At approximately 11am this morning Douglas Duty crew Green watch attended King Edward Pier to assist with the extrication of a crew member from a sailing vessel. Working closely with our colleagues from Douglas Coastguard and the Isle Of Man Ambulance Service, the crew member was assisted from the vessel using the turntable ladder to lift them ashore. Crews were in attendance for approximately 40 minutes. This was a good example of multi-agency working.’
