IFD divers help recover prosthetic leg worth thousands
On Saturday, Indianapolis Fire Department Tactical Team 7 found themselves diving into the murky depths of Geist Reservoir in search of lost treasure. Only it wasn’t gold doubloons or a lost pirate’s chest they sought. It was a titanium/carbon fiber prosthetic leg, said to be worth $20,000. According to IFD, Tactical Team 7 had just finished a two hour training exercise in Geist Reservoir and were loading their boats unto trailers when officers with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources approached and asked the divers for assistance in recovering the leg.
