Hello to all

[fire scuba]

I am a new member and I am hoping to get some information and a little insight from some more experienced divers.
I start this forum with a problem of sorts, I am on a dive team in central Illinois on a volunteer fire department. My problem is our team leader has had to put us out of service as a rescue team because our Chief and one of our firefighters have moved our dive trailer into cold storage for some unknown reason. I am looking for information on the hazards and safety issues so that I can go into our officers meeting with some amo to back up my personal oppinion that our equipment needs to be in a heated truck bay. Can anyone help me with this issue? :06:

Hey there fire scuba!

I can't help you out with that issue personally, but I'm sure there are some here who can. There are several forums devoted to different types of professional rescue divers. You should definitely try there. Go to the Public Safety Divers and see if they can help out or point you in the right direction. I think you'll find a wealth of knowledge on this board, and someone can help you out.

Oh, and welcome to scubaboard

Sorry to double-dip...a post to one of the equipment forums would probably yield a lot of opinion at the very least on the impact of cold storage...

Thanks for the advise Gregg I will check it out.

It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location. You can use the Quick Links in the bar above for such changes. And sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help?
