They demonstrated putting out a fire on a fishing trawler, saving a fisherman who had fallen into sea and rescuing a man from his kayak.

The display included lifeguards using paddle boards to rescue swimmers who had got into trouble and also the rescue of some 'drunks' who were messing around on the town's pier and had fallen into the sea.
