WEST PALM BEACH, FL — February 3rd — Outside Jupiter Inlet, Ocean Rescue and the U.S. Coast Guard participated in cooperative maritime training with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, located at 405 Pike Road, West Palm Beach, FL, United States, 33410. In order to enhance cooperation, communication, and safety during high-risk situations, crews worked in frigid temperatures and choppy waters. Rescue operations, victim recovery, vessel operations, and unified command were the main topics of instruction.


Jupiter Inlet continues to be dangerous because of high currents, changing shoals, and frequent boating traffic, according to officials. Interagency drills help crews prepare for severe weather, boating emergencies, and large-scale responses. Regular combined training, according to leaders, improves operational preparedness and teamwork while guaranteeing a safe and efficient reaction in the event that hazardous conditions endanger locals, tourists, and the maritime community.
