Last evening 16 members from both Clinton and High Bridge stations, trained together on marine rescue and South Branch River familiarization.

Crews staffing both Marine 455-3 and Marine 145 traveled up river checking water levels and accessibility locations for rescue operations. While crews did find parts that the boats had to portaged,  they were able to adapt and over come. Making simple solutions to get to their goal, crews were able to travel from the spill way of spruce run reservoir about a mile and a half up river just passed the route 31/Halstead Street intersection. Crews also trained on night navigation without the use of GPS systems and night swims.

Meanwhile, other members practiced there shore-based rescue skills such as using rope throw bags.

The drill concluded around 22:00 hours after some much needed cleaning.
