5 Dolphins Rescued On Cape Cod

CAPE COD, MA — Yarmouth Fire and International Fund for Animal Welfare officials successfully rescued five dolphins over the weekend.

On Sunday, the department and IFAW officials pushed through a "coordinated effort" to rescue dolphins stranded along the shoreline near Hallet's Mill Pond Bridge, on the border of Yarmouth and Barnstable.

"Today, YFD received a call from IFAW requesting assistance with multiple live dolphins stranded in shallow water," the department said. "Fire & Rescue personnel responded quickly, providing manpower and logistical support to ensure the safety of both the animals and rescue teams."

"This collaboration underscores the importance of community partnerships in wildlife conservation and emergency response, highlighting the dedication of both YFD and IFAW teams," fire officials continued.

All five Atlantic white-sided dolphins are expected to be ok, officials said.
