All In A Day’s Work

Posted January 1st 1970

This must be why they call them the dog days of summer. On the afternoon of Oct. 28, the Stone Harbor Fire Department received a call for mutual aid from the North Wildwood Fire Department. It seems that Bruno, a dog, swam too far from shore and was caught in the treacherous currents of Hereford Inlet. Unless assisted, it was doubtful the dog could survive. The Stone Harbor Fire Department quickly launched a rescue crew on a personal watercraft. The crew quickly located Bruno, who happily hopped on the back of the watercraft and was safely ferried to his owners on the North Wildwood beach.
