Fire and rescue service and coastguard launch new lifesaving partnership
A new partnership has been launched between the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service and HM Coastguard. The collaboration aims to improve operational efficiency at the Selsey base. As part of the agreement, the fire service will provide compressed air cylinders from Selsey Fire Station for the coastguard to use when responding to emergency incidents. This initiative is expected to "offer a significant time saving for HM Coastguard in the event of an emergency incident, while providing operational resilience." The coastguard will reciprocate by supplying the fire service with specialist water rescue personal protective equipment during joint incidents, enhancing the fire service's operational capacity. Station manager Mick Dunham, who led the project, said: "We work very closely with all of our emergency service partners, but following an emergency incident where we worked closely with HM Coastguard we identified areas where we could improve and support our colleagues at HM Coastguard through our Operational Assurance debrief process.

"Minimising the amount of time it takes for them to recharge their cylinders will ensure they retain operational availability to respond in the event of an emergency when the public need them most." On Tuesday evening, members of the coastguard attended Selsey Fire Station for a familiarisation session to discuss how the new agreement will operate. Mike Kerley, senior coastal operations officer with HM Coastguard, said: "This is a great example of fellow emergency services working together to further enhance both our responses, making them sharp and effective for the public. "This could benefit anyone who gets into difficulty by the shore. If you see an emergency by the coast, call 999 and ask for Coastguard."

Coast Guard recovers 3 bodies following plane crash off California
July 27 (UPI) -- U.S. Coast Guardsmen on Sunday recovered three bodies from the Pacific Ocean after a small plane crashed off the California coast the night prior. The twin-engine Beechcraft airplane with three people on board crashed at about 10:55 p.m. PDT Saturday between 200 and 300 yards off of Point Pinos, Monterey, Calif. It had departed from San Carlos Airport on the San Francisco Bay. A search-and-rescue operation was launched involving local and state law enforcement assets and Coast Guard boats and helicopters, resulting in the body of one occupant being recovered at about 3 a.m. Sunday, the Coast Guard said in a statement. The plane's fuselage was then located shortly before 6 a.m. by a Cal Fire drone, with U.S. Coast Guardsmen recovering the bodies of the two remaining occupants of the plane at 6:31 a.m and 9:08 a.m. The U.S. Coast Guard called off the search later Sunday. The operation lasted a combined 13 hours with 346 miles of trackline searched over a search area of about 100 square miles, it said. The Monterey County Sheriff's Office late Sunday identified the victims as Steven Eugene Clatterbuck, 60, of Salinas, Calif., James Vincent, 36, and Jamie Lee Tabscott, 44. Both Vincent and Tabscott were from Monterey. "The family and friends of the deceased have expressed that they wish to extend their gratitude for the outpouring of support from the community," the sheriff's office said in a statement. "They ask for privacy during this difficult time." The cause of the crash is under investigation. The National Transportation Safety Board said on X it was investigating. Solve the daily Crossword
