Theo said: " I can definitely see myself volunteering for the lifeboat when I'm older.
" I'm so happy that Dexter's okay. I think we'll be friends For Life . "
Crew member Lee Howells said: " Even though we've dealt with a lot over The Years at The Station , having a nine-year-old who was in and out of consciousness in my arms was frightening. "
