Stark warning after four people rescued from Bristol harbour over Easter weekend

The fire service have issued a warning after multiple people were rescued from Bristol's harbour over the Easter weekend. Over the four-day period, four people needed assistance, one of whom was drunk.

Whilst out training on Good Friday, crews from Bedminster station came across an intoxicated individual, who had found himself unexpectedly in the water. Crews were able to rescue the man from the harbour.

Then, overnight on the same day, Bedminster crews were called out yet again and attended the docks to rescue a further two individuals during the night. And on Saturday, fire crews rescued a 60-year-old man in the early hours of the morning after he fell off his canoe.
