    I would imagine that a water rescue in NYC involves the NYPD, and the Coast Guard? How often do FDNY and NYPD train with the USCG? https://www.atlanticarea.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/District-1/District-Units/Sector-New-York/Unitsa/ Looks like the Coast Guard has a station on Stanten Island. Thanks.
