Denver FD trains for Ice Rescues

The Denver Fire Department recently purchased new inflatable rafts to assist firefighters with ice rescues. The new rafts were strategically placed on fire trucks around the city. The department's underwater rescue team recently spent the better part of January and early February training firefighters on the use of the new rafts. Fire officals say that their busy time for ice rescues is coming up as the ice in local lakes begins to thaw.
