Lough Swilly RNLI were forced to help tow a fishing vessel on Friday last.
The lifeboat crew was paged at 8.19am by the Malin Head Coast Guard to come to the aid of the 33 tonne fishing vessel which had four people on board.
The crew established a tow and took the fishermen to the safety of Ballyhoorisky Pier before returning to Buncrana to refuel and make ready for service.
“Remember if you’re in difficulty in or on the water or see someone in trouble, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard,” said an RNLI spokesperson.
