Beach rescue exercise: Buried alive
An exercise has been carried out to test coastguard rescue responses to people becoming buried on the beach.
Volunteer teams were tasked with finding a mannequin buried under the sand on the beach at Caister.
The exercise was carried out following a national increase in the number of rescues of this type.
In 2011 a 15-year-old girl had to be rescued by a paramedic and lifeboatmen from a 7ft (2m) hole on the same beach.
