03/26/2015 - HANSON, MASSACHUSETTS (PLYMOUTH COUNTY) - On the morning of Thursday, March 26th, 2015 the Plymouth County Technical Rescue Team held their annual ice dive training at Camp Kiwanee, off of Route-58 in Hanson. Twelve divers from the team participated in the training, along with several dive tenders and support staff. Departments brought their dive and technical rescue equipment, including Abington Fire's new dive and technical rescue trailer, and Bridgewater Fire's newly renovated S-1, which houses the dive equipment. Kingston, Marshfield, Hanson and Duxbury also sent their dive vehicles and trailers to the training. After a triangle cut was placed in the ice, divers took turns checking out the conditions in the pond at Camp Kiwanee. Divers noted the clear viability under the ice. The training is held yearly to keep the team's divers proficient with all types of diving conditions. Other dive training is held in moving water scenarios, rivers and the ocean.
