FISHKILL, N.Y. -- A firefighter is stranded in the Fishkill Creek clinging to the foot of a bridge to stay afloat. moments later his colleagues jump onto a life boat and paddle across to save him. Fortunately, this scene is just for practice.
“it is good to go out there and train for these situations,” said Assistant Glenham Fire Chief, Eric Nicholson.
About 30 firefighters from four agencies attended the Ice Water Rescue training in Fishkill on Saturday. During the training they learned about operating procedures, equipment and patient handling while in the classroom; then they hit the creek to put their knowledge to the test.
