Last week, members of the Florissant Valley Fire Protection District traveled to Indian River Rescue School to complete the Swift Water Rescue Technician certification course.

This intensive, hands-on training focused on critical skills including moving water dynamics, victim rescue techniques, boat operations, and team-based rescue scenarios in challenging environments. Our personnel trained alongside agencies from across the country, enhancing both their technical abilities and their ability to operate effectively in high-risk water rescue situations.

We are proud of their dedication to advancing their training and ensuring we are prepared to respond when our community needs us most.

Valley Fire candidates spent time training with the squad this week, sharpening their skills in vehicle extrication. From tool operations to teamwork under pressure, these hands-on evolutions are critical in preparing firefighters to respond when seconds matter most.

We would also like to thank Bolin for allowing us the opportunity to come on site for this training.

We’re proud of the hard work and dedication these candidates continue to show as they train while serving our community safely and professionally.
