The Lockport Township Fire District Dive team was established in 2006.  We have eight members certified to the level of Dive Rescue 1 through Dive Rescue International.  We are equipped with dry suits and full face Aga masks.  As a team, we have the ability to perform surface rescue, under water rescue and recovery.  We can assist the police with evidence/weapons recover and documentation. Our team trains monthly with the Joliet Fire Department.

Dive personal also are trained in surface ice rescue and ice diving.  The Dive Team operates a 19 foot Zodiac boat with a 115 horse power motor and a Humming Bird side sonar system.  The side sonar allows us to see images similar to an ultra sound.  To date we have assisted Joliet Fire Department by diving for a possible bridge jumper, we have responded to calls in our district involving a car in a retention pond, a car in the I&M canal and assisted both the state police and the FBI in their investigation of the Peterson case.

Members include: Lt. Kevin Pastore, Lt. Dan Martis, FF David Izquierdo, FF Brain Dobczyk, FF Chris Kozak, FF Michael Callans, FF Andrew Fitzgerald, and FF Thomas Fulton.
