Guernsey Coastguard assisted in coordinated a multi‑agency rescue last night, following reports of a young person who had fallen from height at the Cows Horn on Guernsey’s east coast.

At 8:45p.m an emergency call was received by the Joint Emergency Services Control Centre (JESCC), reporting that an individual had fallen down the cliff face and required urgent assistance. JESCC immediately initiated a coordinated response involving Guernsey Coastguard, Guernsey Police, St John Emergency Ambulance Service, and both, the RNLI’s all‑weather (ALB) and inshore (ILB) lifeboats.

Guernsey Police officers were first to reach the casualty, locating him at the bottom of the cliff and provided initial assessment and first aid at the scene.

The RNLI ILB arrived on scene at 9:08p.m, followed shortly thereafter by the RNLI ALB at 9:10p.m. Due to the challenging and hazardous terrain, paramedics from St John Ambulance were transported to the casualty via lifeboat where they provided enhanced medical care.

After stabilisation and preparation for extraction, the casualty was transferred, to the ALB for onward transport to St Peter Port arriving there at 10:15p.m where they were landed ashore into a St John Ambulance for onward transport to the Princess Elizabeth hospital.
