New Bedford Fire Department Marine Unit operated the Fire Rescue boat, Marine 38 during a joint training from the New Bedford Harbor out to Buzzards Bay during a successful readiness exercise.

“It is remarkable what can be accomplished when local agencies partner together to achieve a common goal. Earlier today we conducted drills with the Steamship Authority’s M/V Nantucket in conjunction with partners from the Buzzard’s Bay Task Force.

These training environments help solidify communication between all members on scene as well as ensure we are ready and equipped to respond to any significant maritime event. Amazing job to all who took part in today’s event.” -USCG Station Menemsha.
