A Harford County Volunteer Fire & EMS Association training session turned into a live rescue when a vehicle drove off a dock at a Havre de Grace marina.

While filming a promotional video for the Harford County Volunteer Fire & EMS Association, a real-world incident took place as a man drove his vehicle off the dock and was rescued by nearby fire personnel.

WBAL News Radio reported that the fire department rescue diver, already in his wetsuit, was able to immediately get into the water and rescue the trapped occupant.

The driver is stable and expected to fully recover, officials said.
