The Ramsey Rescue Squad is proud to announce the acquisition of cutting-edge water rescue equipment, thanks to the generous support of the Ramsey community. This new gear, which includes a advanced inflatable rescue boat, personal flotation devices (PFDs), water rescue suits, and specialized throw bags, significantly enhances the Squad’s ability to respond quickly and effectively to water emergencies.


The new inflatable boat is lightweight and highly maneuverable, allowing rescuers to reach victims swiftly in a wide range of water conditions, from swift rivers to lakes. Equipped with features that enhance safety and efficiency, this boat is a vital addition to the team's resources. The PFDs and specialized water suits offer buoyancy and thermal protection, enabling rescuers to operate effectively even in cold or hazardous water environments. The addition of throw bags, designed to provide a quick and reliable way to reach individuals from a distance, further improves the speed and safety of water rescues.


The Ramsey Rescue Squad's ability to acquire this lifesaving equipment was made possible by the unwavering support of the local community. Through fundraising efforts, donations, and continued encouragement, the people of Ramsey played an instrumental role in making these improvements a reality. The Squad is deeply grateful for this support and wants to thank every individual and business that contributed to these efforts.


"Our community’s generosity ensures we can provide the best possible emergency services," said the Squad's spokesperson. "This equipment enhances our capabilities and will save lives."


To ensure they are fully prepared, Squad members have already undergone extensive training with the new equipment. The Ramsey Rescue Squad’s ongoing commitment to public safety is strengthened by the community’s involvement, and together, they will continue to make Ramsey and the surrounding towns a safer place for everyone.
