Ambulance and Green Sefton Services called to Ainsdale Beach following incident

Green Sefton Services attended an incident on Ainsdale Beach today, shortly after high tide.

Witnesses stated that following a lot of shouting an individual had apparently waded out into the stormy waves, possibly seeking to help a washed-away dog.

A Sefton ranger’s vehicle arrived and the person, who was by now lying on the wet sand, was helped to their feet.

Shortly afterwards, an ambulance attended the scene at the beach entrance.
