PIKE COUNTY, Pa. — The Tafton Dive and Rescue Team spent Sunday morning practicing on the ice.
Members headed out onto Lake Wallenpaupack to prepare themselves for ice rescues.
Tafton Dive Team is made up of members of the Tafton Volunteer Fire Company.
The captain says exercises like this one is important for every member of the team. It helps prepare new members and keeps veteran members up to date on procedures.
"We try to get out a couple times a year, do a couple trainings just in case anything ever happens on the lake, we're prepared and ready to go," said Richard Groo.
Dive team members say it was a cold one when they arrived at the lake Sunday morning; it was only 32 degrees here in Pike County.
