 I think Vermonters should be proud of the work that was done that day by the flood rescue teams that were here. Rescue Inc. received an award for an incident in Ludlow, where the group saved a man whose truck had been swept away in the water. And public safety officials are urging Vermonters to boat sober, especially during the busy Fourth of July holiday season coming up. According to the United States Coast Guard, alcohol is the leading known contributing factor in boating accidents.
