This morning, Chief Reall and Assistant Chief Koretski had the privilege of joining fellow public safety leaders, elected officials, and members of the maritime community underway aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Tall Ship, the “Eagle” in and around Newport Harbor.

The Eagle, is a 295-foot barque built in 1936, serves as the U.S. Coast Guard's training vessel for future officers and is currently touring as part of the America 250 celebration. The ship is now docked in Newport Harbor throughout this weekend.

This unique opportunity was made possible through our ongoing partnership with the Narragansett Bay Marine Task Force, where we work together to provide coordinated marine emergency response coverage throughout Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.

Our sincere thanks to the United States Coast Guard for their outstanding hospitality. We are grateful for the strong partnerships that help keep our waters and communities safe.

Just before 5:00 p.m., the Watch Hill Fire Department was requested to respond as part of our responses with the New London Marine Group to the area of Ram Island in Long Island Sound for a 43-foot vessel that had struck an object and was rapidly taking on water.

WHFD’s Marine 10, staffed with a crew of 4, responded and met with the U.S. Coast Guard, Groton Long Point Volunteer Fire, and the local Sea Tow crew on scene. While the Noank Fire Department held land based command for the operations. Our members assisted with dewatering the vessel with multiple portable pumps to help keep it afloat and provided a safety es**rt as it was towed to a safe harbor.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

As always, we are proud to assist our regional partners and commend our members for their professionalism and teamwork in helping bring this incident to a safe resolution. Thank you also to our members who remained on shore standing by for another local emergency.

On Friday afternoon, during a heavy thunderstorm, Watch Hill firefighters responded on mutual aid to assist the Westerly Fire Department with a structure fire on Brass Ring Road.

In total, 12 members responded both to the scene with our engine and squad and to cover our station in case of additional calls.

Thank you to all of our members for your continued dedication and commitment to the community. Our thoughts are with the homeowners who suffered a loss in this fire.
