February 26, 2015
On the night of February 26 2015 at 19:00, Company 2 members headed to the Hughesville Pond for Ice Rescue Training. Members utilized our Oceanid Rapid Deployment Craft, Mustang Ice Commander Suits, and various other safety devices to practice necessary skills for ice rescue. Evolutions were done on ice depth ranging from 3 inches to less than a inch and open water.
Attached are photos of training and an ice safety video brought to you by the Charles County Volunteer Fire and EMS Association.
