HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — If you happen to to be near Saugatuck’s waterfront and see what looks like a lot of excitement on the Star of Saugatuck involving the Saugatuck Douglas fire department, know this: It’s just a drill says manager Marilyn Starring.
“They’re making sure if they have to do a rescue on the boat, how we match up,” she said.”if someon’s gone overboard, they’re assisting in how to retrieve them.”
She said you may see people in the water and the fire boat buzzing around. Don’t call 911, it’s just a drill. Starring said these drills are conducted every couple of years to make sure everyone knows how to respond to emergency situations, should they arise.
