On Sunday morning, off-duty firefighters, lobster fishermen, and bystanders worked together to rescue three individuals whose car had plunged into the water at St. Peter's Park in Gloucester. Witnesses, including Lt. William Doucette, who jumped into the water, coordinated with local fishermen who helped break a window to free the trapped passengers. Fortunately, low tide prevented further complications during the rescue. The three passengers and Doucette sustained minor injuries and were treated at local hospitals, highlighting the community's swift response to a critical situation.
"Three people could have easily been lost in Gloucester this morning if not for the bold and decisive actions of these two firefighters and a group of very brave bystanders."
"Fortunately it was low tide and not high tide," he said.
