A new public safety plan at the Oceanside Harbor took effect February 5. The new plan shifts public safety duties from Police to a Fire/Lifeguard Marine Safety Unit. The Harbor Marine Safety Unit is staffed by two lifeguards and one firefighter/paramedic at all times. This 24/7 crew handles boat and swimmer rescues, fire suppression, vessel and dock inspections and manages medical emergencies that may occur both in the Harbor, at Harbor Beach, and offshore.
