PRPD arrived and began assisting the driver and reportedly the sole occupant of the vehicle to warmth. Shortly after C2404 and R22 arrived and located the vehicle approximately 50ft away from the roadway, fully submerged in the water. Members suited up in our ice rescue equipment and checked the vehicle for other occupants and secured the vehicle using a winch from R22. @salstowing arrived shortly after and members assisted in moving the vehicle to shore and mitigating any other hazards and removed debris that floated away as a result of the accident. #trainingpaysoff #icerescue #coldwater #accident #rescue #firerescue #poundridgefire
