Five fire departments joined forces to scour a section of the Delaware River between the shores of Port Jervis, NY and Matamoras, PA, May 11th, for what a motorist reported as a possible body floating in the river.
Rescuers Search Delaware River Following Report of Possible Body Sighting PORT JERVIS, NY - Water res cue volunteers from five fire depart ments scoured a section o f the Delaware River on the morning o f May 11th, investigating a report o f a possible body floating in the water b elow the Route 84 bridge near Tri-State Rock. Despite an ex tensive search from the PA to NY shores o f a stretch o f the river, from the bridge to Kittatinny River Beach Campground in Milford, PA, only a floating white sign was re covered. Port Jervis Fire Department Deputy C hief (DC 1) James Rohner operated Command just below the bridge, directing operations with fellow Orange County Deputy C hief John Tunney and other emer gency personnel on scene. Rohner said an individual driv ing on the bridge above the river Wednesday morning had reported spotting something white bobbing in the water within view o f the bridge. Rohner said one can never be too cautious on such a situation and, rightfully, the good-intentioned individual reported what was believed to be a white tee-shirt on a floating body.
