Recently, the rescue team has helped dozens of people either caught in rip tides or wrecking their boats, but they said if people pay attention to the water and where they are going, they shouldn’t be a problem. “Really we’re there for medical support and the water rescue and, you know, assistance that way,” Lieutenant Daniel Power said.
News4JAX Anchor and Reporter John Asebes rode along with the St. Johns Fire and Marine Rescue division.Lieutenant Power and his crew are there for the fun and also for the moments that maybe aren’t so fun.“We’ll say we probably had 15 to 20 assists yesterday, slash rescues. I would say probably that and maybe a little bit more,” Power said.Another thing they watch out for are boat crashes, especially on the sandbars, that are sometimes hard to see.
The big piece of advice first responders want others to know is to go online and check the tides before they go out to the water.
