GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - When there are emergencies on the water, first responders need to know what to do.
The Coast Guard, state and local first responders in Marshall County participated in training exercises on Lake Guntersville.
They learned how to respond to potential emergencies such as terrorist attacks, major collisions, or chemical spills.
Guntersville Police Chief Jim Peterson said most of the boat operators are not able to operate around a vessel that’s underway or moving at the same time as a tow boat.
