Happy Easter from HM Coastguard

Happy Easter from HMCG Sutton Bridge!

🚨 Multi‑Agency Training at RAF Holbeach Yesterday Sutton Bridge CG alongside Skegness & Wrangle took part in a multi‑agency exercise at RAF Holbeach, a live weapons training range used for fast‑jet operations.

CROs from Sutton Bridge and Wrangle completed their annual Casualty Care refresher this week — covering fractures, falls from height, water rescues, airway management (OPA/NPA), CPR, defib, shock, bleeding and more. An outdoor practical scenario is set soon.

Proud to accept the Community Champion Award at the Pride of South Holland Awards last night We are on call 24/7 to support the Spalding & South Holland area and the wider Lincolnshire/Norfolk coastline.. It’s an honour to serve our community. 🌊💙 #999coastguard #teamlincs

Last night we joined Wrangle CRT for a realistic search exercise on the Lincs marshes. Teams searched rough, dark, wet terrain for a mock injured casualty who was located, treated, and stretchered to an ambulance access point. Great to train again alongside Wrangle CRT

Happy New Year from HM Coastguard Sutton Bridge facebook.com/share/p/1CufN1…

We’d like to remind everyone that flares should only be used in genuine distress situations. They shouldn’t be used for entertainment or as fireworks during celebrations. If you think someone could be in trouble at the coast, always call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. #Flares

Thanks to the HMCG Humber Ops Team for having us today! Great to finally put names to faces/voices and see how they handle 999 calls with serious skill (and some heroic multitasking). Their patch is HUGE, software is impressive, and their brews — obviously Yorkshire Tea

👏 National Accreditation is no small feat—and we celebrate our friends at Lincolnshire Lowland Search and Rescue (LSAR) who’ve earned it through years of dedication and hard graft. We’re proud to work alongside them in the shared mission to bring the Vulnerable Missing home.

Cracking day at a Holbeach Charity Fun Day 🚨 Showed off the kit 🎨 Gave out freebies 🌊 Shared safety tips 🎯 Ran the throw line challenge—miss the mark, end up in the stocks for a soggy laugh 💦 (only joking, our volunteer was hot) Thanks to all who joined! #StaySafeAtCoast

High humidity this weekend on the Lincolnshire & Norfolk coasts! ☀️ Seek shade, wear sunglasses & drink plenty of water. Keep an eye on kids & the vulnerable. #BeachSafety: swim with someone, “float to live” & tell someone your plan. In an emergency dial 999!

Jumping from piers, marina walls, rocks and heights into water can be very dangerous 🤕 ⚠️ Consider the risks to yourself and others. Young people could be watching and may attempt to mimic the activity. 📞 In an emergency on the coast, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Early AM: Sutton Bridge Coastguard & RNLI Skegness teamed up on a Humber page. We safely moored a towed vessel at a marina—crew secure, but no time for a proper cuppa! For coast/sea incidents, call HM Coastguard. #Teamwork #SafetyFirst
