An increase in annual tourism is demanding more from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue.
That's the view of the region's deputy mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime.
Jo Coles has revealed the Fire Service has to deal with huge numbers of people visiting the area:
Jo says managing technology and working closer with the government is key:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
