About 80 residents plunged into the ice-cold water of the Delaware River in Port Jervis on Jan. 11 in support of the local fire department’s water operations team.

This year’s polar plunge attracted the most attendants to date and raised about $3,300, according to John Faggione, the city’s recreational director, who has co-hosted the annual event with Tim Simmons at the fire department for six years.
