Rescue team practice couldn't be more realistic

NAPANEE, Ont. (28/01/12) – A member of the Fire Service’s Specialized Rescue Team throws a rope to a team member during their annual ice and water training Saturday morning on the Napanee River. Members of the 12 person team went through several drills for the first time this year in order to train four new members and go over past training. The practice seemed increasingly important as just last week, two snowmobilers were rescued from the Bay of Quinte, about a week after the Sophiasburgh ice rescue team did their own training on the water.
