RESCUE AIR BOAT CHALLENGE

The MFD is asking for the communities help to raise money to replace our aging and mechanically challenged Hovercraft with a more versatile and dependable air boat.

Our Hovercraft struggles mightily when ice conditions are not “perfect.” Shell ice, ice shoves and water to ice transitions pose major problems in rescue situations. Couple that with ongoing maintenance issues on the 23 year old machine and you have a craft that is ineffective when it is needed most.

Because of this we are trying to raise enough money for it’s replacement. If we can raise $155,000 by this fall, we can purchase a refurbished air boat. 

RESCUE AIR BOAT CHALLENGE
