THE BEST. “Another segment of firefighters training for more than just fires. This time, it’s shore-side dive training. With this training, our crews focused on the communication and teamwork between the diver and communicator. With limited visibility and underwater vegetation such as weeds and moss, the divers rely on the communicator on shore to maintain contact, relay information and help monitor the dive.

Training together in challenging conditions strengthens teamwork and helps ensure our divers are prepared to respond safely and effectivity when the situation arises.”
