This week, members of our dive team traveled to Key West, FL for a joint ERDI Underwater Threat Assessment and Hull Inspection training opportunity, with Harris County and DPS.

ERDI underwater threat assessment and hull inspection training develops the knowledge and operational awareness necessary to recognize and identify potential hazardous devices, as well as other illegal substances, within underwater environments.
It is specifically designed to prepare public safety personnel to:
• recognize potential underwater explosive threats and smuggled illegal substances
• understand operational limitations
• initiate diver-recall procedures
• secure operational areas
• coordinate with qualified explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) or specialist response teams.

This training gives members of our dive team necessary skills to provide specialized services that keep the safety and wellbeing of Baytown citizens as a top priority!

Firefighter Garofalo was pinned by his wife and his Oath of Office was administered by Fire Chief Kenny Dobson.

Firefighter Garofalo was previously assigned to station 2, C-Battalion and has since been reassigned to station 2, A-Battalion.
