Greenville Fire/Rescue, New Bern Fire Department, and Greenville Police held a two-day water rescue training along the Tar River in Greenville on August 3–4, 2022. The joint training exercises help NC Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 10 members build and maintain water rescue skills and techniques, such as boat handling, victim retrieval, and search and rescue operations.
