Nice to see another northlander here! We often have Carlton county training with our dive team. Does Cloquet work with them?

I was paged in during the incident and wound up talking to the press. I was happy with our departments response as I am the one who has been teaching confined space for years. I don't get to as many dive team training sessions as I would like to, I am a diver with the team however I don't have gear and only go in the water as a last resort. I usually wind up in a command position.
