New hovercraft can be used for water and snow rescues September 28, 2007 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Emergency management officials in Marion and Hamilton counties say a new hovercraft will help with rescues on water, snow and ice. A grant from the Department of Homeland Security will pay for the $60,000 craft, which was bought from a Terre Haute-based company. Marion County Emergency Management spokeswoman Debbie Fletcher says the six-passenger hovercraft will also help with emergencies in dams, where rescue boats often get stuck in the water's current. Training on the hovercraft is expected to begin next month. Copyright 2007 The Associated Press |
