Brookfield firefighters, police hold dive team training

On Monday, Brookfield Volunteer Fire Department Candlewood Company and the Brookfield Police Department conducted training with their dive team on Marine 24 and Marine 25. This was the first time the Brookfield Dive team used the new Marine 25 vessel to do regular dive training.  Members used the police department's side scan sonar on Marine 24 and the built-in side scan sonar on Marine 25 to track divers in the water.  The goal of the training exercise was to make all first responders more proficient when it comes to working together on dive operations. Marine 25 was built so it can have these expanded search and rescue capabilities.  Fire company officials say the sonar, coupled with a hydraulically operated bow gate and other features make water rescues and recovery of victims faster and safer.
