“Here are a few pics from this morning’s New Bedford Half Marathon. Ladder 1 proudly displayed the American flag in front of FD Headquarters near the start of the race.
The Region 5 MCI (Mass Casualty Incident) trailer was staged there and ready for rapid deployment. The multipurpose Polaris Ranger was also manned for rapid response in the downtown area during the race.
K-9 Kona, our chemical/biological detection canine and her handler FF Travis Rebello were deployed with K-9 units from the New Bedford PD, MA State Police, and SEMLEC.
The NBFD pack relay team members crossed the finish line together after each running a portion of the half marathon as a fundraiser for Porter Guillemette.
Congratulations to all the runners who came from near and far! Thank you to all the public safety agencies who participated in making this a safe event.
