Jersey RNLI and fire service in joint coastal water rescue

A person has been rescued from the water off Jersey's north east coast on Sunday afternoon, the RNLI has said. Jersey RNLI said its St Catherine's inshore lifeboat was tasked to the incident in the water at Rozel, alongside a Jersey Fire and Rescue Service lifeboat. It said the fire service arrived at the scene first and recovered the casualty from the water, with another person from the vessel already on the fire service's casualty and the other person were later transferred back to their yacht, in what the fire service described as "teamwork". "At the point where the St Catherine's crew arrived on scene, the fire and rescue service lifeboat had recovered the casualty from the water and had two persons on board," Jersey RNLI added."The swell was making it difficult to transfer them back to their yacht. "So the casualties were transferred on to the RNLI lifeboat which provided a more elevated and stable platform to onward transfer onto their yacht."
