Huge shout out to Kenosha Unified School District 1 and Kenosha Bradford High School for allowing Northern Illinois Dive Training to use the Bradford HS pool for part of a public safety diver training class. Kenosha Fire Department and Bristol Fire & Rescue both have divers in this class which will continue to help grow our Kenosha County Dive Rescue Team !

Whether you're spending the day kayaking or taking the kids for a swim on Freedom Lake at KD - Veterans Memorial Park, make sure everyone is wearing an appropriately fitting life jacket.

Forgot yours? No problem!

A 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is available at Freedom Lake for anyone to use. This incredible community resource was made possible through Jovan Joseph's Eagle Scout Project with Troop 595.

✔️ Borrow a life jacket.
✔️ Wear it while you're on or near the water.
✔️ Return it when you're finished so the next family can use it.

A life jacket only works if you're wearing it. It takes just a few seconds to put one on, and it could save a life. 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐣𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬. 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐭.
