Morecambe’s lifeboat crew responded to a call with ‘good intent’ this week.
At 1.05pm yesterday (Wednesday September 28), Morecambe RNLI volunteers tasked by HM Coastguard after reports were received of two people and a dog cut off by the incoming tide near Grange-over-Sands.
The inshore rescue hovercraft was launched and the crew members conducted a search of the area.
Nothing was found in the area and the persons were thought to have been safe and returned to land.
The crew said it was a call with good intent and encouraged anyone to call 999 and ask for the coastguard if they see anyone in danger or potential danger within Morecambe Bay.
They’ve also reminded people that they can take steps to avoid getting cut off by the tide. This includes:
Before you head out, make sure it's safe. Check the tide tables.
While you're out, be aware of your surroundings and the tide's direction.
