Officials urged swimmers in Long Island, New York, to be cautious after at least four people were injured in suspected shark attacks this month.
"We are telling people that if they are swimming, they need to swim in lifeguard areas. They should only go waist deep and that they should be aware of their surroundings," Ocean Beach fire department chief Ian Levine told CNN on Thursday.
The beach was temporarily closed for several hours while officials scanned area waters for additional shark presence with drones, Bellone added. On Thursday, a Fire Island state beach was closed briefly due to a shark sighting and reopened after a drone survey found no sharks, according to officials. Earlier this month, two lifeguards were attacked by sharks while role-playing as victims during safety training drills.
