Volunteers with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Hasty Team just bought an airboat for $1. The Truckee Fire Protection District sold the airboat to the Hasty Team after TFPD acquired it for their use. Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said their search and rescue teams are now better equipped to serve the community thanks to the men and women of Truckee Fire. The airboat is a rescue tool that Washoe County Search and Rescue Hasty Team has been in need of for some time. It can be used for missions on shallow bodies of water and could potentially be used to speed response time for ice rescues, particularly in areas where thin ice is an issue.
