RNLI crews in Donegal respond to three call outs



RNLI crews in Donegal responded to three call outs over the course of the weekend.

 

The team in Bundoran assisted a man who fell overboard at Mullaghmore, while the Arranmore crew assisted in two medical evacuations.

 

Bundoran RNLI was called to assist in a water rescue in which a person fell overboard.

The call was made at around 10:30am on Saturday morning in Mullaghmore.

The Bundoran team responded within four minutes.

On arrival, the victim had already been assisted out of the water by a passer-by and first aid was then administered by the crew.

Meanwhile on Arranmore Island, the crew were tasked twice for medical evacuations.

The first was at 3 o’clock on Saturday afternoon which saw a patient transported to the mainland.

An ambulance took the patient from here to Letterkenny University Hospital for further treatment.

A similar alert was received at 4 o’clock yesterday morning when the Arranmore National Ambulance Service volunteers attended a casualty with an injury and requested the assistance of the lifeboat to evacuate the casualty to a waiting ambulance in Burtonport.
