PORT JERVIS, NY - Water rescue volunteers from five fire departments 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 extensive 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 recovered.
Port Jervis Fire Department Deputy C hief (DC 1) James Rohner operated Command just below the bridge, directing operations with fellow Orange County Deputy Chief John Tunney and other emergency personnel on scene.
Rohner said an individual driving 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-inten- tioned individual reported what was believed to be a white tee-shirt on a floating body.
