On Thursday February 4, 2010 at 11:26 hours the Baltic FD was called to Rte. 97 in the area of the Norwich town line for a possible water rescue in the Shetucket River. Upon arrival of Car 224 (Baltic command) a childs tube type water toy was observed to be hung up on some ice approximately 3/4 of the way from the Rte. 97 river bank. The Norwich Underwater Search and Rescue team consisting of Taftville Dive 23, Rescue 2, Squad 2 with boat, and Yantic Rescue 3, Squad 36 with boat were requested by Baltic command to respond and assist. Baltic units on scene were ET 124, Rescue 124 with boat, and Rescue 524. Upon further investigation there was no one in the water or on the ice. A rescue diver was sent out on a rescue ice sled to retrieve the tube. All units were clear at 12:30. Thank you Tim Ricatta, Joe Shefer, and Corey Watford for the pics........
