All,
The search for six people who were aboard an air ambulance that was bound for Boston when it disappeared off the Massachusetts coast has been suspended by the Coast Guard.
They indicated that rescue teams had covered more than 4,400 miles as they searched for the jet that had departed from Bermuda with four crew members and two passengers aboard.
The search began early Saturday morning after the Federal Aviation Administration alerted the Coast Guard around 2 a.m. that it had lost contact with the Gulfstream G100 over the Atlantic Ocean. A “debris field” was located off the coast of Nantucket in water that was about 80 to 90 feet deep.
Four Canadians and two Bermudians were aboard the air ambulance when it departed from Bermuda for the overnight flight to Boston. Authorities have not determined what caused the plane to disappear. Air traffic audio indicated that the plane may have been “coming in blind” with a storm ahead. Additionally, the pilot is reported to have called in an electrical problem and declared an emergency as the plane approached the coast. KTIYP’s.
NEW JERSEY APPARATUS CRASH
On Friday, October 2, 2026, members of the Morganville Fire Department, Marlboro Fire District #3, were responding to an incident when apparatus 28-3-91 and 28-3-75 were involved in a serious motor vehicle accident.
Two members aboard 28-3-75 required extrication and were safely removed from the apparatus by the crew of 28-3-91, with assistance from 28-3-68.
Two members from 28-3-75 were transported by Marlboro EMS and Quality EMS with ALS staff on board. The crew of 28-3-91 was transported by Morganville Fire Rescue.
Thankfully, all members have since been released from the hospital and are home recovering with their families. We are extremely grateful for the outpouring of support and assistance from our neighboring departments and emergency service partners. Unfortunately, both 28-3-75 and 28-3-91 sustained significant damage and will be out of service for an extended period of time. The details of the crash are being investigated.
COMMAND COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY
As some of you may know, GordonG is a Professor in this program and wanted to share this opportunity with our TSL members.
University of Virginia’s National Criminal Justice Command College is designed for mid-to-upper-level law public safety leaders who are ready to take on broader organizational responsibilities. The program combines practical leadership development, university-level coursework, and the opportunity to learn alongside peers from agencies nationwide.
The hybrid format includes three in-person residencies with weekly online coursework in between, making it possible for participants to remain engaged in their agencies throughout the program. Participants earn 15 undergraduate or graduate UVA credits; for those taking the graduate-credit option, completion of the Command College fulfills half of the credit requirements for UVA’s Master of Public Safety degree.
We hope you’ll consider this program for yourself or perhaps nominate someone from your team for the upcoming cohort. The attached fact sheet provides additional details, and they also welcome you or a prospective nominee to join their October 14 information session from 1:00–2:00 p.m. ET.

EXTREME CLOSE CALL FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE FIREFIGHTER
The Londonderry Firefighter who “caught fire” during a call is now recovering at home.
Lieutenant Mike England was working a house fire Friday night when a flashover broke out in the house. He said he was inside because he thought there could still be people there.
Lt. England suffered a leg fracture and minor burns and is out of the hospital. He said he considers himself the “luckiest unlucky guy” when considering his injuries in the context of what happened. Lt. England has been with the Londonderry Fire Department for 11 years.
“Other firefighters that were there put him out by patting him down to put the fire out,” Battalion Chief Bruce Hallowell said. Battalion Chief Hallowell said Lt. England didn’t realize he was injured at first and went back in to continue firefighting.
The call came in Friday night after a fire started in the kitchen of the home. There were five people inside the home at the time of the fire. They were all able to evacuate themselves and refused medical treatment.
