    Emergency services respond to flare alerts

    Coastguards and lifeboat volunteers were called out twice last night after people spotted emergency distress flares.

    The first incident happened in Port Erin at around 7.15pm when someone reported seeing a red flare off the Island's west coast.

    A search lasting two and a half hours, however, failed to find anything.

    At 8.30pm, Douglas Coastguards received a similar call about a white flare in Douglas Bay but a search failed to turn up anyone in distress.
