A local lifeboat crew member, who wished to remain anonymous, slammed the senseless act. “We discovered that some moron had set fire to the life ring holder and the life ring was missing,” he said.
The damage was so bad, East Sussex Fire and Rescue had to be called in to douse the flames. The fire completely destroyed the protective casing, potentially putting lives in grave danger.
