The Tallman Fire Department conducted a hands-on ice water rescue drill one Monday evening as part of its weekly training program, focused on critical cold-water emergency skills.
The drill covered rescuer self-rescue techniques in icy conditions along with the safe removal of victims from ice water — skills that matter most during winter emergencies on frozen ponds and waterways. Firefighters trained under realistic conditions to reinforce safety, teamwork, and rapid response.
The department thanked the Village of Montebello for permitting the use of Kathryn Gorman Park as the training location.
Residents interested in volunteering with the department are welcome to stop by the firehouse on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. to learn more about joining.
