This morning, under the bright Winter sun, the Skerries Coast Guard team were out in force at the South Beach, Rush for some search & rescue training.

The search scenario centred on the extensive South Beach area and was built on the scenario of two persons reported missing in the area. Both search teams successfully searched their respective areas and the missing targets were quickly located.

The team also refreshed their off-road driving with some task based exercises along the shoreline.

Further photos of the exercise are available in our online photo gallery.

Remember – if you spot someone in difficulty along the coast, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the COAST GUARD. Your call could save their life.
