This month's training session focused on reviewing fundamental water rescue operations, equipping members with knowledge of various tactics and familiarizing them with the operational protocols of our rescue boat. A crucial takeaway from the training was demonstrating the simplicity and effectiveness of our rescue boat's setup. By collaborating with neighboring departments that utilize different types of boats, we can choose the best tools available given the situation.

This week, members received training on utilizing a Rapid Intervention Team (R.I.T.) pack system, which provides supplementary breathing air in emergencies encountered by firefighters. Furthermore, they reviewed the standard 'MAYDAY' protocol for requesting assistance via radio.

We thank Pelican Fire & Rescue for letting us borrow a pack for us to train with. Pelican Fire is automatically dispatched for our structure fire calls to provide a R.I.T. team.
