It’s not every day you pull a car out of the lake, but what was supposed to be a routine day of underwater drone training for the members of Engine 21 & 41 resulted in exactly that!Thank you to our partners at Youngsville Dive Team to come out as the sun was setting to assist with the vehicle recovery operation. The Wake County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation as to when this SUV ended up in the water. @topfans
