Volunteers successfully dealt with 2 incidents of a suicidal nature while on duty last night. The first occurred shortly after 2 a.m. when a female was prevented from entering the water on the City’s quayside. Despite further attempts to enter the water, volunteers kept the person safe until the arrival of Gardai. Before the first incident was concluded, crew members heard shouts for help from the water a short distance up river. WMSAR rescue boat was dispatched and promptly recovered the person to safety. These incidents could have had very different outcomes without the presence of our teams. Thanks also to An Garda Síochána, Waterford Ambulance Service andIrish Coast Guard.
