The Town of Westport Fire Department held water rescue and cold-water rescue operations training off Compo Beach on January 5. The meeting was a component of the department's continuous efforts to keep local waterways prepared for crises. Firefighters examined rescue procedures utilized in cold-water situations, including approach strategies, victim handling, and responder safety. Crews are more equipped to handle the difficulties posed by low water temperatures, currents, and winter weather when they receive training in these situations.
