Chief fire officer confident in rescue teams
The Island's emergency response crews are better prepared than ever to deal with severe weather events, according to a senior firefighter.
Storms have caused a number of incidents over the last week, ranging from felled trees to road traffic accidents.
On Saturday, a man was rescued uninjured after his van was swept away in fast-moving water at Garey Ford in Lezayre.
It's triggered a reminder to be especially cautious near rivers during storms.
Chief Fire Officer Kevin Groom says the rescue teams proved their readiness:
Cleanliness and wellbeing at NSC being taken 'seriously'
Firefighters attend late night gorse fire at the Point of Ayre
Government appoints new Chief People Officer
Vehicle rolls 'several times' during crash in the south
