First event of the year for the team was observing the annual Loony Dook at Kames Bay along with @Scotambservice colleagues from Cumbrae. Another great turnout and some fantastic costumes so well done to all those who braved the elements!
It’s been a fairly busy year! Our taskings throughout 2024 saw us respond to more incidents by the end of July than we’d received during the whole of the previous year combined, so it’s about time we looked back on some highlights: shorturl.at/NVeLk
A @metoffice Yellow Weather Warning now issued for rain and snow across most of Scotland from 0000 Monday 30th until 2359 Tuesday 31st bringing heavy rain, high winds and poor visibility which may cause disruption leading up to Hogmanay. @SEPAFlood #weatheraware #999Coastguard
