Appropriate for the current season, personnel participated in Ice Rescue training this morning, 1/23/15. First, members reviewed current department guidelines on Cold Water and Ice Rescue responses. All companies then proceeded to the boat launch at Brown Park for practical exercises. Personnel donned Mustang Rescue Suits and practiced retrieving a victim. Additionally the department's inflatable zodiac boat, Marine 3, was used to practice navigating the harbor and pulling a victim onboard. The Norwich Fire Department protects many bodies of water that are succeptible to freezing in the winter months. Local 892 would like to remind the public to use caution around icy waters and should someone need assitance to dial 911 and not attempt to rescue them.
