Gary D,
I haven’t been on the scuba for a long time. I have a few things for you. Make sure your hospital bill gets paid so my wife can keep making the BIG BUCKS and thanks for sharing a birthday rum & coke with me. I’m glad I got to observe the closet poles getting shoved into your...
Gary,
that’s not going to happen. I was able to work out starting over a new pension. So I will have two pensions keep my years of service/rank and have two retirements. I have 27 ½ years of service and it caps at 30 (Pension), that is why I was looking around to start a new job with a...
Mark,
the boy we recovered did not make it. They call it in the ER.
Thanks for the encouragement about my dads knife. When dealing with teens you just can’t tell them anything. Perhaps we should start telling them that wear a PFD is a bad thing and don’t wear them. Because being a...
Dive call out North Idaho.
We were just finishing setting up Saturday afternoon for our first annual pancake feed (for Sunday morning) named after Gary Fox (Gary D and I dove on last spring, a recovery), anyway we were paged out for two kids capsized a coneu and they were in the water. We had...
A view from the sky is what it takes sometimes to help us get our job done! In this case is how we found her. Gary D will be giving more info.

Gary D,
I could not get CH 4 or 6 to play. Did you? As for your fish, I only saw about 8 of them. They must have forgotten to swim up stream!

Paintsnow, two years ago I was able to join our Sheriffs dive team. I had one or two things to learn, well maybe a lot of things to learn. The first thing Gary D did was look over my dive gear. By the time Gary D got done with my dive gear the only thing I had left was one knife, mask, fins and...
Ok Gary D, before we start ice rescue training (on the ice) we are going to have a group hug, and this will be just for you :-) And the fire guy will be right beside YOU.
What I failed to say is the buggy board in the summer is just a buggy board, but in the winter we have a cover I bought and it has two big rings on the front and two loops on the side. This is a great fast tool to get out on the ice with. You just run your float rope through the big rings, hook...
Bear,
our area is setup something like yours. Most of our fire departments are setup to do surface ice rescue. Between two of our fire departments and our Sheriffs dive team we have three Rescue Alive sled. Our County has lots of lakes, rivers and a dam. The Rescue Alive sled is a nice tool...
Ber Rabbit,
a little more info came in this morning. They were saying that the 16 year old got twisted up in her seat belt. When the LT. arrived and made it down 40’ to the car, he found the car inverted sitting on a shelf with two thirds of the car under water. The girl had twisted her...
More info on Gary D’s story.
The two girls were sisters, 19 & 16 years old. The 19 year old was able to free herself and the 16 year old had gotten somehow twisted up in her seat belt. The car did end up going through about 6 inches of ice according to the paper. The car rolled at least...
