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:
'Unprecedented' situation after deemster in Island's first group litigation case resigns
Immigration changes designed to stop exploitation by 'bad eggs'
Plantation wood, telegraph poles and Satnav to be discussed in the House of Keys
Contingency budget for horse tram tracks 'significantly increased'
MHK to seek re-election in Arbory, Castletown and Malew
