As you can see the number of incidents we are called to deal with varies enormously from year to year.
The nature of the incidents also varies massively and this has changed in recent years with more of our callouts involving flooding, like that seen in Carlisle in December 2015 and in Dumfries at the Whitesands.
We have recently been involved in the search for missing persons, boats in difficulty, people cut off by tides among others.
