Two Firefighters from Bude Fire Station assisted our colleagues at Devon and Cornwall Police this evening to search for an elderly couple who were stranded in their vehicle after it broke down and their mobile phone ran out of battery.

Using one of the 4x4 water rescue vehicles the crew, joined by two Police officers, travelled along the A388 towards Great Torrington to try and locate the vehicle. After travelling a distance along the A388 contact was made with the couple who had managed to get to a nearby hotel and seek refuge there.

The couple were checked over by a Devon Co-Responder and reported safe and well.
