This afternoon West End Fire and Rescue responded with Squad 61, Boat 61, Heavy Rescue 619 and 610 to assist Seven Lakes Fire / Rescue with a water craft emergency / sunken boat

Boat 61 was launched and crews from both departments worked together using specialty equipment / salvage airbags to raise the boat from the lake bottom and get the it raised above the water line. A specially water pump was used to de-water the boat and get floating again. Boat 61 then towed the boat to the boat ramp where it was removed from the water.

This is a great example of incredible team work from all involved.
