Solomons Volunteers Take Advantage Of The Cold Weather At Seahorse Beach
This evening, some of our members took advantage of the cold weather. Over the past few weeks, we have conducted drills related to cold weather emergencies, and this evening had the opportunity to conduct an ice rescue drill. Using some of our specialty ice rescue equipment on various apparatus, our members learned how to rescue victims who have fallen through the ice and bring them back to safety. This equipment makes performance in ice conditions much safer and more efficient for our volunteers. It was purchased with the help of our generous community through donations! Our crews learned a lot about how to help our community in these conditions and had a blast while doing it!

*A PSA to all of our communities in the area*
With temperatures rising again these next few days to weeks, this thick ice will begin to thin and cause an even larger risk to all. We urge everyone to keep themselves, all children, and all animals away from any bodies of water covered in ice to prevent any possible emergencies! Also, with our training, there are holes in the ice already in Lake Lariat and the pond by Seahorse Beach. Please use extra caution in those areas!!
