Every Water Patrol vehicle is literally filled to the top with a variety
of equipment to handle any emergency. Depending on the time of year, each
vehicle is stocked with PFD's (life jackets), first aid supplies, Oxygen, a
"Heart Start" defibrillator, rescue lines, cold water rescue suits, a line
gun (to "shoot" a line across a stream or out to a victim), and a variety of
blankets, gloves and other deputy safety equipment.
