TRANSLATION:
A chief fire officer has praised the actions of a lifeboat crew after a motorboat became "completely engulfed in flames". The St Mary's RNLI Lifeboat crew took four people to safety after the motor boat, more than 18m long caught fire off the Isles of Scilly. Chief fire officer for the Isles of Scilly Fire and Rescue Service Phil Martin, said the team had shown "exceptional professionalism" in having considered the risk of a hidden fire, despite an initial assessment indicating the fire had been put out. Martin said the boat fire was a "timely reminder" that a fire at sea could escalate incredibly quickly, even when it initially appeared to have been extinguished.
He added, "the decision not to tow the vessel, despite understandable requests to do so, and the decisive instruction to abandon the vessel when conditions deteriorated, are powerful examples of sound operational judgement under pressure. He said the team "should be immensely proud of the part they played" because while "boats can be replaced, lives cannot".

TRANSLATION
An air ambulance boss with a history in Formula 1 racing merged the two worlds so rescue crews could pick up tips from the "grind" to get to patients faster. David Richards, who was formerly a Formula 1 team leader, and who is now Cornwall Air Ambulance chairman, masterminded the collaboration with Aston Martin, Mercedes, McLaren and Williams. The service said the tips on "precision, discipline and marginal gains" helped them reduce average take-off time from five minutes to three-and-a-half minutes. Richards said it was also Formula 1's culture of "constant improvement" he wanted his team to see - encouraging them to "see the similarities" between the two fast-paced arenas. He added, "The people of Cornwall should be very proud of the air ambulance".

TRANSLATION
A painting which has hung in a hallway at a care home for decades could be worth thousands, according to experts. The painting at St Teresa's Care Home in Marazion, appeared to be a work by renowned Cornish painter Stanhope Alexander Forbes. Leonard Cheshire, which runs the home which supports up to 27 disabled adults, said the artwork piqued the interest of a "new, art-loving member of staff". The charity said it took the painting to the BBC's Antiques Roadshow tour at the in Totnes, Devon, in May, where experts valued the piece, titled Taking a Rest, A Girl Seated on a Stool, at "several thousand pounds".
