Saddened by the loss of CWO Bobbi East, the crew of CGC WEDGE was unable to attend the ATC Mobile honors ceremony. WEDGE took a moment this morning to render honors and pay respect to CWO Bobbi East by laying a wreathe and flowers into the Black Warrior River while underway. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Practice makes perfect. The crew of CGC Wedge regularly practices many casualty drills to stay prepared for various situations we may come across. These are some snapshots of a recent main space fire drill in which the crew responded to a mock engine room ‘bravo fire’.

Fires are one of the most dangerous and catastrophic events to happen aboard any vessel, keeping up to date with safety regulations, maintaining fire fighting equipment and knowing how to combat these casualties are essential for any boater.
