Mud Rescue
Newham Road, Truro at 26/04/2017 15:26
Appliances from Truro, Falmouth and St. Austell were mobilised to reports of someone stuck in the mud and the tide rising. Crews wearing dry suits and personal flotation devices used a triple extension ladder to rescue the casualty.
Latest statistics show that in 2015, 321 people died after tripping, falling or simply underestimating the risks associated with being near water. Of the 50 who lost their lives in the South West, 20% did so in Cornwall; the fourth highest of any county in England.
