Crews arrived above the main waterfalls at the beauty spot shortly after 1.30pm following a call from a member of the public. Although the service stressed they had received no report of anyone in difficulties, a spokesman said the call had to be taken seriously. They later confirmed the incident was being treated as a well intentioned false alarm.
