RNLI CREWS from Portishead have been called to launch following reports of a person spotted on Blackstone Rock in Clevedon.
Crew members were called to the scene over the weekend (Sunday, August 20) by HM Coastguard.
This was after a full morning of training, and the crew responded as soon as they were able.
The "good intent" call was made after a person was spotted on the rock, which could pose dangerous.
Posting on Facebook, a spokesperson from RNLI Portishead said: "Sunday afternoon (August 20) after a full morning of training, our volunteers received a call from the HM Coastguard requesting them to launch.
"There were concerns for a person seen on Blackstone Rock in Clevedon.
"The crew launched but just as they reached Clevedon Pier they were stood down and were able to return to the lifeboat station. It was a call with good intent."
