At approximately 8am Monday July 12th, Engine Company 6 (Truck 6 out for repairs) and Battalion 6 were dispatched to a submerged vehicle at the Walkedge boat ramp off of Brooks st with unknown occupants inside.

Upon arrival crew reported a Cadillac Escalade approximately 150 foot off of the boat ramp. Firefighter Dan Corrigan entered the water and determined that the vehicle was unattended.

A recovery service was called and upon arrival then Firefighter Corrigan re-entered the water and prepared the vehicle for removal. A small group of onlookers observed as the vehicle was removed from the water. A neighbor reported hearing a splash at approximately 2am but did not investigate the cause.
