This morning members of Rescue 1’s Dive Team joined departments from around Rockland County NY for a simulated plane crash on the Hudson River. Rescue 1’s divers worked to recover victims from the plane that had ‘crashed’ into the Hudson by the Piermont Pier. While this was going on Rockland County firefighters extinguished a fire and EMS tended to other victims from the crash. After the drill Rescue 1 helped the Boy Scouts place an artificial island into Winter’s Pond.
