Capital City Fire/Rescue Capt. Travis Mead narrates a short video demonstrating how to get out of the water if someone falls into the ice. Pete Boyd, a member of CCFR’s Special Teams, is pictured getting himself out of the water. The first demonstration shows Boyd getting out of the water on his own. The second shows Boyd using ice awls to dig himself out of the ice. CCFR says these small picks can be bought for around $15 at stores around town.
