Progress Update on Our New Building!

Over the weekend, our team successfully poured the concrete pad for our future building! This is a major step forward, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support from our partners and community.

A huge thank you to Ames Construction for generously providing the concrete and tools to make this project possible. We also want to express our gratitude to the community members who volunteered their time and muscle to help us get the job done.

This new building will allow us to house all of our critical resources — including our gear, boats, and dive truck — in one centralized location. Right now, our equipment is spread across three different sites, which makes responding to emergencies much more difficult. Once complete, this facility will drastically improve our response times and overall readiness.

Thank you again to everyone involved — this project wouldn’t be possible without you!

Even with the water still being on the chilly side, that hasn’t stopped some of our newer members from training! A few weeks ago, they were at the NCK pool in Beloit, honing their skills and learning different search patterns.

A few weeks ago, 3 of our divers along with 2 divers from Saline County Sheriffs Mounted Patrol and Rescue Squad went down to Beaver Lake Arkansas for 3 days to get their certification in underwater navigation and search and recovery. Water clarity was pretty good so we were able to get a video of one of the tasks we had to preform. We were tasked to search an area and find a sunken boat then send up a buoy to mark the location.
