HM Coastguard teams from Hastings, Rye Bay, and Bexhill conducted a successful rescue operation last night after two individuals were reported stranded by the tide in Fairlight. Responding to a call, a search team was deployed on foot to locate and stabilize the casualties, while a rope rescue system was set up on top of the cliff as a backup extraction plan.
The rescue operation was facilitated by the stranded individuals providing their location using the what3words app, which enabled the Coastguard to pinpoint their position accurately. Once located, a rope rescue technician assisted in recovering one casualty up the cliff, while the second individual was able to walk out with guidance.
