Well done those divers:
The divers volunteered their services on 8 Jan after hearing an appeal on Radio Cumbria. At this time the power was out, and both TV and mobile phone signals were down after flooding and high winds damaged the masts which broadcast the signal.
The West Cumbria BSAC dive boat 'Spare Rib' and a Landrover were pressed into action; the divers donned their drysuits and worked under the coordination of the police, visiting homes in the Warwick Road area.
