Title: Maple Creek Ice Rescue Class
Post by: ryhof on Jan 23, 2019, 02:15 PM

On Jan. 27th, Sunday afternoon,Leigh Fire Dept. will be doing ice rescue training on Maple Creek. Not sure on exact location on water yet, but we will be cutting a large hole to get in water with rescue suits on. If you’re there, you will see us, if you come after we’re done, the area will be marked. Please use caution next week not to go in that area. I will post exact location later.

Please do, and maybe even PM me. I'm planning a tournament there next Sunday the 3rd, and want to keep my peeps informed. I've discussed with Jeff M about this as well so I'm confident we'll be advised. Shoot according to the forecast, it probably won't be issue by then!

We punched 2 holes directly to the west of the Picnic shelter North of boat dock. It’s just south of hiway. I am guessing with temps this week at or below zero that they will be healed up by Wednesday. We had around 20 people in the water training today from Leigh, Clarkson, Howells, Creston, and Wayne Volunteer Fire Departments.

I was there fishing on Sunday...and felt a lot better about being on the questionable ice when I saw the rescue training!
