Ice Rescue Training - Wilkins Farm
January 27, 2009
Last evening members of the Memorial Fire Company participated in and ice rescue class. Due to the snow showers during the day and the temperature, made the evening a perfect setting for the class. Local farmer Howard Wilkins allowed the company to use a small pond on his property. Crews had to use axes to make a hole into the pond so they could get into the water. Crews practiced with the ice rescue suits and different scenarios on rescues using the ice sled. Crews were taught by DSFS instructor Tucker Dempsey.
