Mystic, CT. — August 5 — The Fire Department of the Old Mystic A car went into the ocean at the Weekapaug Breachway, prompting the Dive Team to respond. As part of the water search and recovery operation, dive personnel worked in the breachway. Coordination with response authorities and skilled divers were necessary for the operation. The department's diving team was prepared to deal with water crises, recovery operations, and underwater searches.

In order to evaluate the situation and assist with the operation, crews operated from both the ocean and the shore. The reaction emphasized the importance of diving training for fire units that serve areas with tidal zones, coastal waterways, and potential water crises.
