Marine Rescue Jurien Bay would like to remind everyone that MARINE FLARES should ONLY EVER BE USED IN DISTRESS SITUATIONS and NOT for entertainment, so PLEASE don’t be tempted to use them as fireworks for your New Year celebrations‼️
If we receive an alert at or near the coast where a flare has been launched, we will always respond and we won’t know the difference if you are using them as fireworks. This will tie up resources and VOLUNTEER crew when it isn’t necessary, putting our rescue teams at unnecessary risk and potentially diverted from a legitimate emergency.
Please be considerate of our Emergency Services this New Year (and always!) and DON'T set off your flares unless you are in a DISTRESS SITUATION‼️
