At approximately 9:45 p.m. on Thursday, August 7, 2026, Johnston Fire and Police responded to a well-being check that developed into a search and rescue operation along the Pocasset River.
After initial contact, the individual entered a difficult-to-access area near the river. Johnston Fire, Cranston Fire, Smithfield Fire, Rhode Island State Police, and Johnston Police worked together using personnel, boats, and drones to locate and reach the individual despite challenging terrain and dense brush.
Around 2:00 a.m., fire personnel made contact, safely removed the individual from the water, and transported them to Rhode Island Hospital for evaluation.
Johnston Fire Department thanks all of our personnel as well as those from responding agencies for their teamwork and dedication, which helped bring this incident to a safe resolution.

Everyone recently completed bailout training and each carries a bailout kit into structure fires in case their only option is to bail out of a window.

Firefighter Chris Brandmeier and Johnston Fire Lt. Don Roberts have been training the members of the department through their company, Odyssey Occupational Training LLC.

Battalion Chief and Training Officer Will Fish explained the training is done in two parts, classroom and practical.See commnets for the story.
