Fargo Fire Trains Hard for Red River Rescues

Fargo Fire Department’s water rescue crew is hitting the river hard—training with ropes and simulating real-life rescues after a winter where someone was pulled from the ice. The Red River’s unpredictable currents, shifting water levels, and hidden dangers make this prep vital. Officials warn against swimming or venturing near dams, and even canoe rentals are paused due to dangerous currents. While standing in the water is fine, if you spot trouble, call 911 fast. With nine months of year-round training, the team is ready to save lives—because safety on the river isn’t optional. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
