| WATER RESCUE TRAILER |

This unit was built entirely in station during the early months of 2008 by members of the Dive Team. It carries all of our scuba, swiftwater, and ice rescue equipment. There is a small crew area for changing suits. It can be pulled by Squad 468, Rescue 469, or several members POV's Before this, all the gear was split between 993, 469, and a scuba room in the station. With everything in one unit, it greatly reduces our response time. |
