Ocean City Fire Department enhances water rescue capabilities
OCEAN CITY, Md. – The Ocean City Fire Department has announced the purchase of an advanced sonar device, an amazing tool to assist first responders in water rescues. Over the past few weeks, members of the department’s dive team have undergone training in the bay and ocean to familiarize themselves with this new technology.
This will allow the fire department to better serve the community and ensure they can help better protect those in the water.
“We are excited to integrate ‘AQUAEYE’ into our operations,” said Dive Team Commander David Peterson. “We are hoping this device will help reduce the time our team spends in the water by searching larger areas more quickly. This should help make efficient use of our resources, ultimately improving our ability to save lives.
