A boat beached on the sand with a rescue vehicle and a person in a safety suit nearby.

This morning, at 0848, the Wellfleet and Truro Fire Departments were dispatched to a boat that had run aground with no one onboard responding. The fishing boat was located about a mile north of Newcomb Hollow Beach. A Wellfleet crew responded down the beach with the Department UTV. At the same time, a Wellfleet and Truro ambulance were staged in the Newcomb Hollow parking lot. Once on location with the boat, the Wellfleet crew determined the onboard occupants had no injuries, and  EMS was not needed. MA Environmental Police, National Park Service, and Truro Police remained on scene with the vessel and its occupants.
