Swiftwater Rescue Rules of Engagement
This class prepares first responders to arrive first on scene at a water rescue. Water rescue is a dangerous and dynamic rescue situation and the most likely technical rescue responders will experience. Lessons learned provide a foundation to perform scene size-up, scene safety, assessing the victims, allocation of resources, and rescue decision making. Attendees will be able to identify rescue priorities and use these priorities to ensure a safe and successful rescue. Proper PPE and water rescue equipment necessary for all levels of rescuers will be discussed.
