Salisbury Fire Department to Participate in SMAG Drill on the Wicomico River
The Salisbury Fire Department, an active member of the Salisbury Mutual Assistance Group, (SMAG), will participate in a drill, to be held today, October, 13th at 9am on the Wicomico River. The purpose of these drills is for the multiple participating agencies and members to prepare for an emergency on the Wicomico River, such as a fuel spill from one of the depots, a vessel fire or crash, or a Homeland Security issue.
The Salisbury Fire Department is the first responder to the Port of Salisbury, the second largest port in the State of Maryland. Annually, barges carry over 1.3 million tons into the port, with over 60% being petroleum in nature.
The SMAG drill will begin this morning at 0830 hours at Cato Gas & Oil.
