On Tuesday 10/13, Marine 18 was available on radio conducting operator training in the Delaware River when the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay contacted New Castle County 911 advising of a medical emergency on a sailing vessel South of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant. Marine 18 was in the area of the Branch Canal in Delaware City and made an immediate response. Upon making contact with the vessel, Marine 18’s crew, consisting of three Firefighter/EMTs, was able to quickly assess the patient and then move the patient to Marine 18. The patient was transported to the Augustine Beach Boat Ramp where Port Penn Volunteer Fire Company Ambulance 29 and New Castle County Paramedics were standing by. The patient was transferred to land, assessed and stabilized, and then airlifted to a local hospital by Delaware State Police Aviation Section Trooper 4.

During the week of October 5th, Good Will Firefighter/EMT's Nicholson and Slatcher as well as members from Holloway Terrace Fire Co., Delaware City Fire Company, Port Penn Volunteer Fire Company, and Wilmington Fire completed the forty hour National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) Boat Operator Search and Rescue (BOSAR) Course. This course, instructed by members of the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay, covers a wide array of topics that all contribute to safe boat handling and better coordinated search and rescue efforts as well as risk identification and mitigation. Boat crews received training and applied their knowledge in pre-launch risk assessments and go/no-go decisions, various search patterns, rescue, recovery, and salvage planning, and safe and effective boat-handling techniques.

This training and coordination with both our local fire companies as well as our regional Coast Guard Station continues to build on good relationships and allows all partners involved in search and rescue operations on the Delaware River to be familiar with search and rescue terminology used by the Coast Guard. FF/EMT's Nicholson and Slatcher join the growing roster of over a dozen Good Will Rescue Boat Operators who have completed this training course.

At 11pm on Tuesday October 6th, Good Will and mutual aid units were alerted to a person stuck in the marsh between the Jefferson Farms and Van D**e Village Communities. MRU 18 and Chief 18 responded along with several Special Operations Water Rescue units, Delaware State Police Aviation Section Trooper 4, and a Delaware State Fire School drone operator responded. Working with call operators and dispatchers from New Castle County 911 as well as the night vision and spot light from Trooper 4, members from MRU 18 and MRU 23 were able to be guided through thick phragmites and waist deep mud to the area of the caller. Approximately 42 minutes after the initial 911 call, the crew from MRU 18 made contact with the caller. The caller was assisted out of the marsh to awaiting EMS assets for evaluation and transport. Overall, companies operated for approximately 90 minutes before returning to service.
