Harsh conditions demand precise training. On Tuesday, FDNY members took part in an ice rescue drill to strengthen the skills needed to operate safely and effectively in extreme cold-weather environments. The FDNY maintains more than 80 Ice and Cold Water Rescue companies strategically positioned across all five boroughs, training year-round in open water and pool settings. No ice is worth the risk. Protect yourself, your family, and the responders who may be called to help. Stay off the ice. | N
