The Old Forge Fire Department took advantage of the temperatures today, staging a dramatic ice rescue.

Crews spent the day at (technically 'on') Harris Lake, learning how to rescue victims who have fallen into icy waters.

Captain Jim Williams hoped this demonstration will pay off.

"We've had many problems with flooding," Williams said, "And it gives us a better understanding of what to do in those situations."
