These firefighters train to safely and effectively respond to incidents on or through the ice. Safety Officer BC Gaeta and Training Officer Lt. Tharp were also on location assisting with the training.
The window of opportunity to perform a successful ice rescue is fairly small. If no one sees the victim fall through the ice, the chance of successfully rescuing them isn't very great. In just a few minutes, people can lose the ability to grasp and hold onto the ice. Eventually, they lose the ability to speak clearly and become weak.
