Today A-unit traded the firehouse for the shoreline and hit the water with our new NRS inflatable rescue boat, running real‑world scenarios like shoreline rigging, deployment, boat handling, and victim pickup and packaging.
Crews rotated through boat crew, swimmer, and shore support roles—lots of laughs, a little cold water, and a whole lot of reps on communication, line management, and patient care in a moving boat.
It might look like a fun day on the lake, but this boat gives us a safer, more stable platform for water and ice rescues—especially in tight or shallow areas—and every drill like this is about being ready for that one call when seconds and skills really matter for our community.
