Next, we will stop at Atlantic Wharf, where Boston Fire will be conducting a technical rescue drill over a deployable flood barrier with specialized vehicles and equipment in a flood scenario. Lastly, we will wrap up the tour by crossing the Fort Point Channel and visiting the City's latest deployable at Martin's Park.
