The Beaumaris Inshore Atlantic 85 Lifeboat Annette Mary Liddington launched at 10.31pm and proceeded at full speed to Menai Bridge pier.
 
In the meantime representatives of North Wales Police, and a mobile coastguard response team together with an Ambulance and First Aid Responder were also making their way to the incident.
 
Fortunately in this instance the female who had fallen into the water had been assisted back on to the pontoon by her two male colleagues. One of whom had sustained a head injury during the rescue.
 
The lifeboat crew then assisted the three persons to the ambulance so they could receive any medical treatment required. Once this was completed the crew then made sure that their vessel which was moored at the pontoon was safe and secure.
 
The lifeboat returned to Beaumaris by 11.11pm being washed down , refuelled and made ready for further service by 11.45 pm.
