The rescue sled is a 2001 Ski-Doo Skandic snowmobile with a toboggan that can be attached to it. The towns of Edinburg and Day are mainly forest lands with many snowmobile trails that cross through those forests. The rescue sled can be used to access those trails and rescue snowmobilers who may be trapped deep in the woods. The rescue sled can also respond to rescues on the Great Sacandaga Lake during the winter when the lake is frozen over.
