EQUIPMENT - Rescue Rocket

The team utilizes the Rescue Rocket, compressed air cylinder rocket system.  The device allows a small tag line to be spanned across creeks, rivers, ice, etc to assist with laying larger lines.  It also has the capability of delivering an inflatable rescue ring to a swimmer in distress.  This device has the potential of being used year round for Ice Rescue, and Swift water operations.
