Emergency services have this morning rescued a person who had fallen down an embankment in Falmouth.
Crews from Falmouth Fire Station and a line rescue team from the Tolvaddon station worked together to carry out the rescue.
The police, fire service and ambulance service were also there in support.
They were scrambled just after 6am today.
A photo now released by Falmouth Fire Station on Twitter appears to show the incident unfolding from Webber Hill.
The station said: "Two pumps from Falmouth and two from Tolvaddon, including the line rescue vehicle, rescued a casualty that had fallen down a 20ft embankment suffering leg injuries.
"Due to difficult access two line rescue technicians were lowered to stabilise amd retrieve the casualty."

By coincidence, it comes just a day after firefighters from Falmouth carried out training in line rescues - where a firefighter is lowered over the edge of a steep structure - at Pendennis Castle on the edge of the town.
