Incidents

On 21/06/2025 at 14:00 hrs the team were alerted to 2 paddle boarders in trouble on Ullswater. Fire and Rescue had been contacted by someone on the lake who had seen 2 paddle boarders blown off course to the east side of Ullswater. The team leader contacted a team member who was working on the LDNPA ranger boat that weekend. The LDNPA boat then went to check the location whilst 2 further team members got PMRT Patrick Pete boat ready to respond. The LDNPA boat located the paddle boarders and assisted them to get back to the west side of the shore where they were parked. The 2 boarders had been struggling with the wind since 11am that day and were very grateful for the help. In the meantime a number of fire engines and a land ambulance had also responded. Following the update the team leader then stood all other services down.
