A person approached CRS Control to report they could not locate their friend and was becoming increasingly concerned. CRS advised the person to report their concerns to the PSNI but advised the teams on the ground and the river. As the crew of the CRS Rescue Boat carried out their routine patrol the crew sighted an individual astride the safety fence at the edge of the river. As the boat approached the individual entered the water and the boat crew carried out a successful rescue. CRS Control requested attendance by NIAS. On brining the person back to shore CRS volunteers provided immediate first aid.
