The past few days have left area ponds covered in ice...and that creates a dangerous opportunity that some can't resist. It also creates an opportunity for the fire department to train to respond - when others put themselves in danger. A 13-year-old died when the ice on a South Meadows pond broke in 2015. A year later another youth died in Paradise Pond. That's why the Reno Fire Department trains each winter. The scenario is staged--a training drill--but the situation is realistic. But for the training and the exposure suits everyone is wearing, it's also deadly. A man has fallen through the ice. Someone has summoned for help. The Reno Fire Water Entry Team is conducting the training, but every rig in the department has this equipment; every fireman is trained to use it. He works his way to the victim, gets a harness around him and others pull both to safety.
