Today was a day for putting Emergency responders through their paces when it comes to marine scenarios on the Prince Rupert waterfront, with the Prince Rupert Cruise Terminal the focus for a combined effort in preparation.
The exercise which brought Port of Prince Rupert responders together with members of the Prince Rupert Fire/Rescue service went so well today that it was wrapped up by 11AM, which left just the PRFD members to collect their equipment following about four hours of training towards emergency situations along the Cruise Terminal promenade.
Officials had originally set a timeline of 7AM to 12:30 PM for the day's training program.
PRFD members and PRPA staff take part in these exercises a number of times through the year, keeping skills sharp and responding to a range of scenarios towards emergency situations that could come up on the waterfront.
A video posted Friday Afternoon by the Port Authority provides an overhead glimpse of the exercise from the morning hours.
