This past weekend we performed ice rescue operations with our volunteers and Mabas Division 33 Dive Team. This included both day and night training to add an additional layer of complexity. Thank you to everyone who braved the cold and got certified in this critical skill.

Stay safe and remember thin ice isn’t worth the risk.
