Our Marine program consists of a highly trained team of rescue swimmers, operators and marine trained EMT's and Paramedics.  East Jefferson is surrounded by frigid Pacific water on three sides and we have many boat assists, man overboard and aid calls on boats moored in our local ports.  Our boat, the Volunteer, is moored in the Port of Port Townsend.

The Volunteer can land directly on shore which helps in remote rescues below cliffs and on our many surrounding islands. For more information about our marine program contact our Marine Officer,  Rolf Schumann at rschumann@ejfr.org
