Incident 36/15
Howth Coast Guard were tasked at 20.50 last night to prepare the landing site at Beaumont hospital for CG helicopter Rescue 116. It was performing an urgent medical transfer from Cavan GAA pitch. The unit stood down from an incident at Red Rock Sutton where the Dublin Fire Brigade had a gorse fire under control and went to the landing site. Rescue 116 routed quickly to the hospital site where the unit members performed a quick transfer to a waiting ambulance. The unit stood down at 22.50 back at base.
