Side Scan Sonar

The Side Scan Sonar purchased by the Tafton Fire Company will increase the speed of searching in the murky water of the big lake by a factor of 60, or around 30 acres an hour, as opposed to less than half an acre an hour for a diver who often can't see past the ends of his fingers, as was the case in the most recent search.

Water Rescue Team

The Water Rescue Team consists of members trained and equipped to respond to incidents involving open water, swift water, rapid deployment search-rescue/recovery and rapid deployment ice diving-rescue/recovery. The Team is equipped to dive fully encapsulated into many different water environments.

Divers, of course, are divers. They're the ones who put on the Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (also known as SCUBA) and go under the water to recover lost items or people. Divers are also trained to perform surface or swift water rescues and ice rescues.
