This past weekend 3 of our rescue company volunteers completed their Swiftwater Rescue Technician program with the Hunterdon County Emergency Services Training Center (HCESTC). Ryan, Walt & Wes completed boat operations in the Delaware River with a rope system, allowing controls from short to all a rescue of a victim. They also completed victim rescues in the canal before moving into night operations.
With the heavy recent rains the river was up about 6 feet higher than the previous weekend exercise and was flowing more rapidly, leading to the relative conditions we would normally operate in for a swiftwater rescue.
Thank you Wes, Walt & Ryan for taking the time to become our newest Switerwater Rescue Technicians!
