Candlewood Company firefighters recently went out on Candlewood Lake to train on ice and cold water rescue as a follow up to the previous week’s classroom drill on the subject. In order to be able to rescue a person that has fallen into a cold or frozen body of water, Company officials say they must be ready to use ropes and rigging for tethering the rescuers to shore, donning cold water rescue suits, and use of Marsars ice rescue sled.  The firefighters regularly train on these scenarios since Candlewood Lake and other smaller inland bodies of water in Brookfield become popular during the winter for activities like fishing or skating.
