Alpine Fire District hosted an ice rescue training session with our Mutual aid partner Swan Valley Fire. It was a beautiful day, and members, new and experienced got to get in the water at Big Elk and brush-up on their skills. Scenario of victim access by ice or open water. Suits and watercraft were used. Ice was solid but as warmer weather approaches ice conditions will deteriorate, and special precautions will need to be used. Please be safe.
