Busy Weekend

It was a busy weekend with training both days. Saturday, the cadaver/HRD dogs worked a building that had been burnt to the ground by the Menomonee Falls Fire Department as a training exercise. They were gracious enough to allow us to deposit some items in the house before it was burned. There wasn't much left when they were done, but the dogs did a good job of locate the source.

Sunday it was off to water training. Who does water training in November when it is almost snowing out.. apparently we do ;-) The good news is the boat, side scan sonar, and underwater camera all worked perfectly.

New shipping/storage container

In order to be properly prepared for missing persons cases, disasters and water responses we have a lot of equipment. We were fortunate enough to acquire a 40ft shipping/storage container from Trudell Storage of Oak Creek. The crews from Stark Aphalt created a nice base for us at Rubbletown Milwaukee. With the assistance of several team members we painted the roof with waterproof and heat reflective paint, we installed vents, and painted the inside. We also have a steel door to install. It hasn't taken long and the container is rapidly filling up!
