LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - First responders learned how to work together on the Ohio River in case of an emergency.
Law enforcement officers from several agencies boarded the Belle of Louisville for a simulated onboard rescue Monday.
National Boat Operations Instructor Felix Hensley said Kentuckiana is leading the way in regard to training to respond to large-scale emergencies.
A grant from the City of Jeffersonville helped pay for the program.
