On Wednesday evening in Riverside Park, the Yankton County Search and Rescue Team held a meet and greet for the public.
Team member, Glen Zupfer, talks about the main purpose of the event…
Besides giving away life jackets and serving hotdogs, the public was able to see 2 of their boats, some SCUBA equipment, 2 drones and a tracked ATV.
Zupfer talks the largest item that they had on display…
Zupfer says that this setup enables them to deploy 2 boats in about 15 minutes, but towed to the scene by just one truck, and each of these boats has a retractable dive platform on the bow.
Several hundred people showed up to get to know who they are and what they do for the community.
