WMSAR volunteers were tasked by Irish Coast Guard at 19:37 this evening to a report of a person in the water at Adelphi Quay. Rescue crews were training on the River Suir when the call came in and responded immediately.
On arrival at the scene, rescue crews found the individual at the top of the ladder and in an upset state. He appeared to have entered the water then self rescued.
After some negotiation with our volunteers, the individual was guided to our rescue boat and then brought to the safety of the Plaza Marina and handed over to Waterford Gardaí and Waterford Ambulance Service. Also in attendance were Waterford City Fire Service.
