At 19:07 Falmouth Coastguard requested that Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat be launched following reports of two persons being cut off by the tide between Gyllyngvase and Swanpool. The Falmouth Coastguard Mobile and Cliff Team were also tasked.

The Inshore Lifeboat launched from her slipway at 19:14 but shortly afterwards was stood down as it was confirmed that both casualties had been helped to safety.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 19:15 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 19:23.

The initial report had come from the fire brigade who were attending a fire nearby. The two casualties were assisted to safety by the Fire Brigade and the Coastguard Cliff Team.
