This past week was a time for many area fire departments to take advantage of the moderate weather and conduct dive drills in various icy bodies of water. The MABAS Division 3 Dive Team conducted training at the Underwriters Labs cmpus in Northbrook. Tim Olk was there photographing the training exercise and submitted a few images.
