Lifeboat crew on rescue call finds another station's lost dummy
Published in Weird News
(UPI) A Royal National Lifeboat Institution crew in England responded to a report of a stranded person in the water -- but arrived to discover it was an RNLI training dummy lost by another crew two weeks earlier.
The RNLI crew stationed in Filey said they responded to an early morning call about a person who appeared to be stranded in the water in Bempton on Monday.
They arrived on the scene and "recovered a training dummy from the water," the crew said on social media.
The dummy turned out to have been lost by an RNLI crew in Hartlepool two weeks earlier.
The Hartlepool crew thanked the Filey station for finding their dummy, named Fred, in a Facebook post.
"So Fred's had an unauthorized holiday to Yorkshire," the post said.
