The patrol team of the unit supported 2 fishermen to swim safely to shore, promptly reported to the station command, and the Trieu Van commune government sent forces to rescue the remaining fisherman who was clinging to the boat and being pushed far from shore by the waves.

After nearly 1 hour, with more than 30 officers and soldiers of Trieu Van Border Guard Station, along with the police force and militia of Trieu Van commune, they used ropes to swim out and bring the people and the boat safely to shore.

It is known that in recent days, Trieu Van Border Guard Station has coordinated with the police and militia forces of the commune to propagate and mobilize fishermen not to go out to sea when the weather is bad, big waves cause unsafety for people and vehicles, and at the same time send a team to regularly patrol the sea border, promptly detect and rescue when situations arise.
