Congratulations to the Bryant Volunteer Fire Department on their newly acquired ice water rescue equipment. In late January they were blessed with a beautiful day to get out on the ice and train on how to safely and efficiently perform an ice water rescue. With all of the ice fishing happening in the area, this is another great service that the Bryant VFD can provide to their community and surrounding communities. Submitted by Trevor Lightfield.
