PIERMONT, NY – On September 4, the Piermont Fire Department Dive Team & Marine Unit we’re dispatched to Alpine, NJ for a report of a boat accident near the old oil docks. 13-Marine responded with 8 divers on board to the scene along with mutual aid marine units from WCPD.

Once on scene, crews quickly assessed the situation and had to deploy divers into the water due to the low tide. After getting our marine unit close to the incident location, 4 more divers entered the water to assist the 9 victim’s to safety. After a quick assessment, no major injuries were reported and all were in good health.

During this incident they assisted in a search for a 2nd disabled vessel which was also apart of the same group.
