SAR News
While
escorting the HMCS Haida in late August this past year, the Hamilton
Beach Rescue, District 2, unit 161, was called to action when a distress
call came over the radio. A boat was on fire in the Hamilton Harbour.
The Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary and Hamilton Police Marine Unit
also responded to the call. No one was injured but damage to the vessel
was extensive.
