On 28 February, 2016, some members of Canton Fire participated in an ice water training drill. The members used cold water suits to keep dry and warm in the below freezing temperatures while in the porta-tank. The main focus of this drill was to help these members get acquainted with the cold water suits for future training as well as any future emergencies. The members immersed themselves in the water for approximately 25-30 minutes to get used to the suits. All members managed to complete the training without getting too wet or cold while also building a bond with their fellow members.
