by A concerned citizen driving by Lake Matoaka on campus here at William & Mary saw an unidentified object floating in the lake. Assuming it was an over-turned boater in trouble they called 911 and Williamsburg’s finest, the Fire & Police departments, showed up in mere moments ready to perform a search and rescue on the lake.
Thankfully, all they found was the diligent W&M students working on their autonomous electric race boat. So a pivot was made and the WFD had an opportunity to perform an impromptu team rescue training simulation as well as to go toe-to-toe on the water with the Tribe.
To all those involved, thank you. The response by WFD and WPD was impressive! Even you, concerned citizen, thanks for taking the time to be concerned; it takes a Tribe.
