A multiservice attendance has been made to rescue a woman who was stuck in mud up to her waist in Cangapool, Wilcove, Torpoint. Water rescue crews from Camels Head, Plymouth and St Austell attended scene, along with additional crews from Saltash and Looe. At the time of call it was established that the rescue was required on a falling tide. A joint plan between Coastguard and Fire was decided and executed, using two rescue sleds for crew to reach the female trapped in the tidal mud. Once crews had released the female, the two sleds and casualty were pulled back to shore using a Caxton winch. The female was left in the care of paramedics on return to safe ground. Police, Military Police and a Hazardous Area Response (HART) Team also attended the incident.
