In the fire service, we know the best type of training is to make it as realistic as possible.
Swiftwater training is by far the most difficult US&R discipline to create a realistic environment.
Having live technicians in the water gives the us the opportunity for shore based operations to be exercised.
From the Incident Commander to the Rescue Group Supervisor, it allows us to implement the Swiftwater Incident Command System. 💯
Here’s @usartaskforce32 Swiftwater Rescue Technicians showing how shore based operations work for self rescue 🌊🪢🏊💦⚓️🐙
Next time it rains, visit your local river/speed channel to see the challenges you will be faced with. Have a plan before the call🤙

One year ago, we faced a battle we could not win, yet we never stopped fighting. Today, we honor the lives and communities that were lost and reflect on the property and lives that were saved 🙏
Here’s a video of the conditions that we faced during the Eaton Fire on initial attack. We love and support our community 🫶

Are you prepared for an Incident Within Incident (IWI) during initial attack on a wildland fire?⛰️🔥
From the newest firefighter to the incident commander, you need to know your role 🫵
Here’s @usartaskforce32 at RT-130 extracting an injured firefighter off the line using @traumapak Micro Litter 💯
Have a plan and review the 8 Line especially those who ride on a Type 1 Engine aka “Pavement Queen” 🚒👸

The @qtacfire EMS-F is a UTV rescue skid that is designed to be extremely light weight and easy to load and unload into your vehicle.
It’s designed for rapid deployment for rescue missions, special event medical standby, and backcountry search and rescue.
The @rasantstraps T-pull straps help secure the rescue basket to the Q-TAC rescue skid.

Does anyone else feel like this when you eat a donut? 🍩😂
Don’t be that firefighter who sits at the kitchen table to eat donuts and tell stories 🗣️
Leadership starts in gym. Be a leader, they’re watching you 🏋️💯
