Fire fighter thrown from boat in dramatic sea rescue video

New footage of a sea rescue in Jersey, in which a fire fighter is thrown from a boat by ferocious waves, has been released as a warning of dangers in the water.

Three members of the fire service battled six foot waves on Saturday evening, when their boat was launched to save two people at sea.

Both were rescued and brought to shore but a woman, 31-year-old Joy Godfrey, later died in hospital.

Jersey Fire and Rescue posted the video on their Facebook page, with the warning, "respect the sea…we do!"
