The Hinsdale (MA) Vol. FD took advantage of early Spring warmth that caused ice to melt and recede on Plunkett Reservoir to provide training in ice rescue. Twenty-five members of the department donned wet suits and used the Rescue Sled to reach, secure and extract a “victim” using the sled. Pictures show members performing functions involved in a sled rescue on thin ice. Members rotated through all positions required by the use of a rescue sled.
