A person and a dog had to be rescued by Morecambe’s lifeboat crew after becoming stuck in mud.
The Morecambe RNLI launched to attend a rescue near The Battery car park just before 9:45am yesterday (Tuesday February 18).
The inshore rescue hovercraft launched with four volunteer crew members on board and headed to the area.
The crew rescued the casualty and the dog from the mud and escorted them to the safety of the shore at The Battery car park where they were transferred to an awaiting ambulance.
The local coastguard teams and Lancashire Fire and Rescue were also in attendance.
A spokesperson for Morecambe RNLI said: ‘’We would like to remind everyone that when you go to the beach, always carry a means of calling for help.
‘’If you’re going in the water, you can carry your mobile phone in a waterproof pouch. That way, if you find yourself or spot someone else in an emergency situation, you can get help.
;;In a coastal emergency, call 999 and ask for the coastguard.’’
