VIDEO: When the Harwich Fire Department in Massachusetts got the call Monday afternoon that someone had seen what looked like a person in the water off the Bells Neck Conservation, they rushed to the scene. "We have a standard response policy for a person in the water," said Harwich Fire Lt. Scott Tyldesley. That response involves several agencies and a lot of equipment. "We automatically activate our dive team in case they’re needed they’re on the way," Tyldesley said. "We knew it was a remote area that would be a tough area and we have a small boat that we were able to get and launch in remote areas.
