BAZETTA TWP., Ohio (WKBN) – Two police agencies in Trumbull County that patrol communities surrounding Mosquito Lake were gifted with new life-saving tools in case of a water emergency.
It doesn’t matter if it’s winter or summer, whether the water is frozen or moving freely, there is always the possibility someone could need to be rescued from Mosquito Lake.
“In the last couple of years, we’ve had officers assist over at the lake on some people falling in the water. Each time, we’ve had those officers come back and say will you please get us something in our cars so we’re not scrambling around looking,” said Cortland Police Chief David Morris.
Thanks to a generous donation from a group of eight churches in the area that make up Lakeview Outreach and Fellowship and the American Legion Post 540, each cruiser in Bazetta and Cortland is now equipped with a ResQ Disc.
