The Norwood Fire Department Ice/Water Rescue response crews provide a significant variety of operational needs to the town of Norwood. Our water rescue program has grown from limited water surface capabilities to a fully operational ice and water rescue response with the ability to provide critical advanced life support. 
 
An Ice/Water Rescue response is activated any time a person(s) are reported in danger, missing or believed submerged. All members of the Norwood Fire Department are trained to function in a water rescue capacity, giving the department the ability to respond 24/7 to any emergency. Our commitment to continuous training provides the highest level of safety and service to our public and our Department through quality education and Norwood homegrown experience.
