Flooding

A wading team, in full water rescue kit and with an inflatable sled, assisted Humberside fire and rescue service with door knocking, giving safety advice and helping with further evacuations. Teams are still ready to respond once more if needed.

Coastal operations area commander Matt Atkinson said: “Our amazing volunteers and full-time officers have really gone above and beyond in the last few days, with many dropping everything to travel to assist with the flooding and to help those in need.”
