Cobourg Fire Department Tries Out New Water Rescue Equipment

In Local

Members of the Cobourg Fire Department were at the inner harbour in Cobourg on Monday, July 12, 2021 familiarizing themselves with a new water rescue tool.

A Rapid Deploy Craft was recently purchased by the Cobourg Fire Department which can be used for open water or ice water rescues.

The RDC can be deployed within a minute and is used by a number of fire departments in Northumberland County.

All 32 firefighters will be trained on the use of the water rescue equipment for use in a emergency on Lake Ontario or in any of the retention ponds or creeks in the Town of Cobourg.
