Coastguard team save child from falling out window.

Tonight was kit night at the station, with extra effort to prepare for Carnival week.

Everyone was working hard to ensure the equipment was clean and packed ready for Carnival week, when Terry noticed a small child in a nearby property standing on a 1st floor windowsill trying to open the window.

Suddenly the child managed to fully open the window. The risk of the child falling was unthinkable - the team literally leaped into action. Brian was assisted over the fence whilst Chris appeared to hurdle the fence and both raced over to catch the child if they fell.

Thankfully the sight of two Coastguards racing towards the house saw the child get down from the window as the parents raced out to see what all the shouting was about and were most grateful for the teams actions.
