PETERSBURG – At its Jan. 9 meeting, Upper Township Committee recognized the efforts of the Ocean City and Strathmere fire departments, Ocean City 911 dispatchers, and State Police Maritime Bureau for their “heroic and professional” rescue work Oct. 30, 2022, at Corson’s Inlet when three boat occupants found themselves in deep waters as their small craft floundered.
“This area is a dangerous entrance and exit point, and with their boat grounded and the three individuals casting about in the water, rescue crews were on the scene within literally a very few minutes,” explained Mayor Jay Newman, who is also the Marmora Volunteer Fire Company chief.
“Because of the purchase of the right equipment, proper training, and following procedures and protocols, the rescue was timely and executed with great success,” he continued.
