VIDEOS/PHOTOS: The Boom Bay Volunteer Fire Department is showing off its newest set of wheels.
No matter if it's on land, ice or in water, the Boom Bay Volunteer Fire Department's new SHERP vehicle is up for the task.
The amphibious vehicle will help Boom Bay with life-threatening events like ice rescues on the Wolf River, Lake Poygan and Lake Winneconne.
"The tires help it float, plus the body itself helps it float," said Chief Dave Platta.
Inside the SHERP, the operator is able to increase or decrease the tire pressure, making it easier to get in and out of the water.
"Lowering the tire pressure makes the tire almost become kind of a shelf, and as you, if you approach the ice shelf it'll just grab and just climb out," said Hudson Peters, who works for SHERP.
