44% of people who accidentally drowned in 2019 had no intention of entering the water. Would you know what to do if you fell in? Check out this video from the @RNLI on how #FloatToLive could save your life youtube.com/watch?v=3OBCFEEZ… #BeWaterAware

Our crews never know what to expect when the call for help comes. For @rnli_kinghorn volunteers, it was a vessel and its trailer which needed to be safely recovered. RNLI crews are highly trained to deal with the variety of situations they face when the pager sounds.
