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:
Mountain Road to stay closed overnight
Horse Tramway business case 'under final review'
BMA finds less than a quarter of doctors recommend working at Manx Care
Thirteen people entered or tried to enter the Island without immigration permission since January 2025
Abuse towards bus drivers 'will not be tolerated'
