Monday May 21, 2007 the Tolland County Dive Team was
requested to the town of Holland Massachusetts to assist in the recovery of and
individual who had been solo canoeing on the Hamilton Reservoir located in
Holland, MA. Dive teams from Massachusetts had already been dispatched to
the scene. Tolland County had an excellent response from its team members
with a total of 11 divers showing up on scene. The first four divers were
dressed and ready to start operations when divers from the Mass dive teams found
the individual.
Even though this was a terrible tragedy Tolland County can take pride in its
ability to provide such a tremendous response to any agency who asks for our
assistance. Dive team commander John Roache extended his thanks to all who
responded to this incident.
