This is the kind of training you hope you never need, but always want to be ready for.
Recently, our watershed team partnered with Glassy Mountain and Green River Fire Departments for a simulated rescue training scenario on our watershed property.
The exercise involved rescuing an individual in a staged ATV accident, using ropes, a boat, and a medical helicopter. It gave our teams the chance to learn more about how local fire departments respond during emergencies, so we can better support them when it matters most.
Our teams often work with fire departments through controlled burns and land management efforts, but this was the first multi-agency rescue training we’ve hosted. It’s another step in building strong, prepared partnerships across our watersheds.
We’re grateful for these departments, their expertise, and the time they spent training with us. These are the kinds of partnerships that help keep our people, our communities, and our source water protected.
