Kimmeridge Coastguard Rescue Team has responded to nine emergency incidents since July 7.
The Coastguard rescue team was called out to emergencies along the Dorset coastline, including two incidents requiring CPR, two involving casualty care, and two cases of heat exhaustion.
They also responded to reports of a missing person, a casualty who became stuck on a cliff, and one person with a broken ankle.

A spokesman for Kimmeridge Coastguard said: "It’s been a busy start to the summer, with our volunteers responding at all hours, day and night, whenever the pager sounds.
"Every incident is different, but each one highlights the importance of having a trained rescue team ready to assist those in need."
As the summer season brings more visitors to the coast, the team has issued safety advice for those planning a trip to the seaside.
They recommend checking weather forecasts and tide times, wearing suitable footwear, carrying plenty of water, and informing someone about your plans.
In an emergency on the coast, people are reminded to call 999 and ask for the coastguard.
Kimmeridge Coastguard is also recruiting new volunteers.
Anyone over the age of 18 who lives or works within reach of Kimmeridge and is interested in a voluntary community role is encouraged to apply.
Full training is provided, with the next course starting in early September.
