Perth Amboy, NJ - Members of Special Operations completed their monthly training focused on surface water rescue scenarios in the Raritan Bay, sharpening skills used in real-world maritime emergencies and emergency response conditions.
Crews operated in open-water environments practicing rescue aproaches, boat operations, victim recovery techniques, and coordinated team responses in dynamic water conditions. Training emphasized speed, safety, and precision in chalenging marine environments where conditions can change rapidly.
Firefighters worked through multiple scenario-based drills designed to simulate real incidents, reinforcing coordination between units and improving operational readiness for water-related emergencies along the city’s shoreline.
In Middlesex County on August 4, the evolution took place under active bay conditions as crews refined their water rescue capabilities in real-time training environments.
Perth Amboy Fire Department continues to maintain a high level of preparedness through regular special operations training, ensuring crews remain ready to respond effectively to emergencies in and around the Raritan Bay.
