Bridgeport Fire Department - Water-rescue training Feb 16, 2026. The training officer organized an indoor water/ice-rescue drill to practice improvised safety procedures. The exercise simulated a real incident: a command center was established for on-shore radio communications linking the shore team to rescuers in the water. Crews practiced victim recovery techniques while maintaining clear radio discipline. The rescues were timed and logged to evaluate response speed and coordination. Safety officers monitored the exercise and enforced improvised mitigation measures to keep participants secure during the indoor simulation.
