We welcomed many agencies to the annual Ice rescue training on Hart lake. The US Coast Guard brought there equipment and expertise to help with training and practice of ice rescue procedures.
The Hart Area Fire Department was joined by the Pentwater Fire Department, Grant Township Fire Department, Shelby Benona Fire Department, the Oceana County Sheriff's Department, and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The training was conducted at the Hart Fire Station and on Hart Lake near the city boat ramp.
We had a classroom training by the Coast Guard and then a practice session on the ice.
