Coastguard rescue teams had a busy day dealing with a number of incidents at Durdle Door.
Kimmeridge Coastguard was tasked at 2.09pm yesterday (August 14) to reports of a person who had fainted and suffering from breathing difficulties.
Lulworth First Responders were already in attendance and providing casualty care to the patient whilst the Coastguard planned the best route for extraction.
Whilst dealing with the incident, the Coastguard team were made aware of another possible casualty that had chest pains.
With that in mind and, due to a possible stretcher carry of the person, Wyke Coastguard Rescue Team were requested to attend to provide assistance.
At the same time, a crew from Lulworth Coastguard Rescue Team were already providing care to a person at Durdle Door involved in a separate incident.
After handing over the casualties to an ambulance crew, teams stood down and returned to station.
