A call was received via the police from a member of the public who was several miles away. They had observed what they believed to be an emergency flare around the Lingmell Col area. Fortunately after some enquiries by the Team Leader it was quickly established that this was a planned activity and not a call for help. A false alarm with good intent, and the team was stood down.
Incident started at 20:56 and ended at 21:13 making 0.3 hrs in total. There was 1 Wasdale team member involved and the incident occured at NY 211078. Total rescuer hours: 0.3
