    ALPENA, Mich. ⎯ Personnel from U.S. Coast Guard Stations Tawas and St. Ignace will lead two-day
    interagency ice-rescue training with Alpena Fire Department Feb. 16-17 at 400 E Chisholm St., Alpena, Mich.

    Interested media parties are invited to attend the training from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Feb. 17.

    The two-day training starts with classroom instruction on equipment and tactics the Coast Guard ice-rescue
    teams utilize to conduct ice-rescue operations across the Great Lakes region. Following classroom instruction
    and familiarization, Coast Guard personnel will demonstrate techniques in the water and the Alpena Fire

    The Coast Guard works closely with local, state and federal agencies during the winter months on the Great
    Lakes to execute ice-rescue missions. These interagency trainings allow members of ice-rescue teams to
    coordinate during rescues.

    Wednesday, Feb. 16 and arrive no later than 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 17.
