When someone walking on ice falls through into a freezing cold body of water, they don't have much time before parts of their body give out and they could drown or die from hypothermia. The Reno Fire Department began holding ice rescue training exercises at Idlewild Park Monday night, to gain experience with a potentially deadly call.

After the record winter that saw double the amount of snowpack, the Truckee River was running fast and high into July.  Now, the snow melt is slowing, and the river flows are dropping.

Some favorite northern Nevada hiking paths might look different in 2017 and since it's warming up outside, people are starting to hit the beaten path. 

When that dangerous ice appears, rescue calls increase for Reno firefighters. We joined them today for a morning of ice rescue training.
