Travis County STAR Flight Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Headquarters Blackcomb Helicopters came and trained at the facility this week. We love having other agencies from around the nation and world come and train at Flood Rescue Academy. They not only learn new techniques but they also teach us a new technique or two to pass on to other departments that come and train in the future.

Dear Everyone

We wanted to get the word out that Flood Rescue Academy is expanding the curriculum we offer using the feedback from students over the last two years. We have developed new and updated curriculum and techniques from that feedback. We will continue to offer the two courses that we have previously offered along with an additional Enhanced Technician and Comprehensive Course.

The Technician Course is a 2-day course based in the water. The Advanced Course is 3 days course, two of which are based in the water and the 3rd day is land, ground / search and rescue operations.

The Enhanced Technician course will be a 3-day course all based in the water.

The Comprehensive Course will be a 4-day course, to include 3 days in the water and 1 day on land, ground / search and rescue operations.

We also offer team building for both public safety professionals and for the private entities.

Along with the classes and courses that we offer, we can also bring the ground search / rescue training to your location. This is offered so that you will be able to do a training in your area and learn how to pre-plan your location.

We also will bring Swiftwater Awareness and Swiftwater Operations to your location.

We are continuing to work with new and innovated equipment from top vendors in the industry, such as , , , ,

We know that times are tough with covid, and we hope that you all stay safe and hope to see you soon.

I wanted to reach out to all of you and wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at Flood Rescue Academy. I hope that this email finds you all safe and at home with your family and friends during this time.

This past September I retired from Williamson County EMS after 25 years. I sat idle for about five days then took on a new position as Special Operations Captain for another agency in Texas. This will be sending me to more training and experience that I will be bringing back to the Academy. So always something new!!

We are gearing up for a new and exciting year at the Academy with new curriculum updates to both our water and ground class components. Most of this is based on the feedback from students such as yourselves over the past two years. So I thank you all for that.

In addition to our current Technician and Advanced Curriculum we will be adding a two day "team building" class for the civilian as well as first responder side of things this coming year. This will be a good refresher course for those that have had training at the academy in the past. We will continue to offer one day refresher courses and on site Ground SAR and Awareness level training at your department as well.

I really do enjoy this time of year but I am ready to get back in the water and get back to work. The weather this December has been crazy to say the least and I think it's going to be a busy spring and summer for us all. So stay safe out there and STAY OUT OF THE WATER. 🙂
