Members take Water Rescue Awareness Training

On Monday, July 23rd, seven members headed over to the Intercourse Fire Company for the “Water Rescue For The First Responder Awareness Level” class. The instructor for the evening was Mr. Todd A. Stahl of WhiteCap Water Rescue Training. \
\
There were over 65 persons in attendance representing the following fire companies: Gap, Gordonville, Intercourse, Kinzer, Paradise-Leaman Place, White Horse, and Liberty-New Holland.\
\
Topics covered in the 3 hour class included different types of hazard recognition, personal protection, data gathering, accident scene considerations, planning, rescue vs. recovery, and community education.\
\
Water rescues thankfully are not a frequent occurrence in our first due area; however, with this training, we will able to better assist the incoming water rescue teams.\
\
Thank You to Mr. Stahl for a very informative class.\
