Three people in distress at the River Lagan on Saturday night.
Among those who came to their aid were the Community Rescue Service, Lagan Search and Rescue, the SOS bus and the PSNI.
The Community Rescue Service were on patrol before midnight when the first incident occurred and they were alerted to two further incidents over the course of the night.
A spokesman said: "Shortly before 12 our teams on the ground responded to a tasking from the PSNI to a person in distress on the wrong side of the railings at the River Lagan beside the SSE Arena.
"Within minutes our water response team were on the scene, ready to enter the river if the person had entered.
"Unfortunately after negotiations the person entered the river - but fortunately our colleagues from Lagan Search and Rescue who were also on scene were quickly able to bring the person on board their boat and bring them to safety before handing them over to Northern Ireland Ambulance Service."
Next they were tasked by the PSNI to a second person in distress at the railings on Albert Bridge.
The spokesman said: "Our rescue boat was quickly launched and along with foot teams was quickly on scene were negotiations where taking place between the person and the PSNI.
"Thankfully after a short time the person got on the right side of the railings and was taken to a place of safety by the PSNI."
Then, while patrolling the river one of the service's foot teams noticed a young person sitting on the railings at the rivers edge.
The boat team was notified and were soon on the scene.
The spokesman said: "It quickly became apparent that this was another person in distress.
"Thankfully our foot team where able to lead the person away from the river's edge and hand them into the care of our colleagues from SOS who took them to a place of safety."
