Wayland Firefighters Take Part In Dive Team Training

WAYLAND, MA — Five members of the Wayland Fire Department spent Wednesday training in Milford as part of a joint exercise focused on specialized rescue work.

The firefighters participated in a joint Technical Rescue Team and Dive Team training at a Milford quarry, according to the Wayland Fire Department.

The department said the exercise was designed to prepare members for high-risk, low-frequency incidents, build teamwork and sharpen skills alongside regional partners.

Training in realistic settings is an important part of that work, as Wayland fire says that it strives to achieve the highest levels of preparedness while providing fire, rescue and emergency medical services in town.

Technical rescue operations are also part of a broader statewide system. The Massachusetts Technical Rescue Coordinating Council oversees technical rescue teams across the state.

Wayland firefighters said focus on training and safety "helps ensure we are ready when our community calls... Thank you to everyone involved for their continued dedication to training and safety."
