Did you know the Fall River Fire Department has a Dive Team? What does firefighting have to do with diving? 🤔 Life Safety!🚒👨🚒
Here's a little history about the Dive Team and what they do, told by Dive Team Leader Lt. Correia Jr.
The Fall River Fire Department Dive Team was started in 1983 and continues to be utilized today. That's 40 years later! The Dive Team responds to numerous calls every year including; boat accidents, ice rescue missing swimmers/kayakers and unfortunately, bridge jumpers. Fall River has several bodies of water, including the North Watuppa, South Watuppa, the Taunton River, Cook Pond, Sawdy Pond and the Quequechan River.
The Dive Team conducts training all year long including ice diving and utilizing the pool at Durfee High School for safety training. Members receive the dive training and certification on their own, prior to getting on the team.
Below are a few pictures of the divers at the Durfee High School swimming pool and other various locations. Also pictured below, is the Dive truck that is stationed at the Flint Station on Eastern Ave.
Thank you to the Fall River Public Schools for letting us train there.
