Howth CG were tasked to five incidents today. The first incident tasking was a call to the unit's boat 'Grainne' while it was out on safety patrol. A jet skier was endangering other water users near Clontarf so the boat crew were requested to speak to him regarding safe practice on the water.
The second tasking was to a collapsed person on Dollymount beach at 1745. There were no ambulances immediately available so Helicopter Rescue 116 was also tasked by Dublin MRCC along with the unit. While en route a DFB ambulance became free so was on scene before the CG unit arrived. Dollymount beach lifeguards gave first aid to the casualty before the arrival of the ambulance. R116 landed on the beach in case it was required to transport the casualty. The casualty was transported to hospital by the ambulance. The CG unit managed public safety while the helicopter was on the ground and co-ordinated with the senior fire officer on scene to ensure safe evacuation of the casualty.
While on patrol on the East pier later in the afternoon the bike unit assisted two persons from the water with throw lines. They had swum out too far and were unable to swim back.
Later on Dollymount beach the bike unit reported a fire to Dublin CG and stood by while DFB attended.
While standing by the bike unit intervened in a self harm incident and handed the person over to the Gardai for the individual's safety.
