Fame's Swiftwater Rescue Team was requested to provide stand-by services at the Brandywine-Red Clay Alliance 2016 Polar Plunge event along the Brandywine River. Fame's Swiftwater Rescue Technicians donned their personal protective equipment and waded into the chilly waters while several hundred brave souls dashed through the waters. Fortunately no rescue services were required and a good time, albeit cold, was had by all.
