Fraserburgh RNLI in Search for Missing Person
On their second shout of the day the volunteer crew of Fraserburgh RNLI responded quickly to reports of a missing person.
The volunteer crew of Fraserburgh RNLI were paged for the second time in a matter of hours on Tuesday 15 October 2024 to assist in the search for a person who had been reported as missing.
After a two hour search they were stood down after the missing person was found safe and well.
It was the first shout for Eilidh Sutherland daughter of Coxswain Vic Sutherland, and the latest member of the Sutherland family to join Fraserburgh Lifeboat.
Well done Eilidh!
