As it was posted by Aliantha I assume it's an Australian case - the rescue service may well be publicly funded? I'm sure she'll clarify.

Don't really know which way I fall (!) on this one. I agree with Dana in that I doubt he'll be that much of an eejit again. And with Clod that the outcome of the situation - while not surprising - was accidental.

I think I'd suggest a caution for a first offence. The next one, sure - hit them with the full costs plus a fine.
