A firefighter wearing a cold-water immersion protective suit acts as a victim who slipped through the ice Jan. 11, 2023, at Big Sandy Lake at Fort McCoy, Wis., as part of surface ice rescue training for members of the Fort McCoy Directorate of Emergency Services Fire Department. The training was done in conjunction with ice rescue training for the department's dive team where a simulated underwater victim was also rescued by a diver. The Fort McCoy Directorate of Emergency Services Fire Department is among only a small number of military fire departments with a dive team and ice rescue capabilities. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
