The Robertson County Emergency Management Agency Special Operations Team is proud to announce the addition of new rope rescue equipment to our response cache. This investment enhances our ability to safely and effectively respond to technical rescue incidents throughout Robertson County.

Our upgraded equipment provides increased versatility, improved safety, and greater operational efficiency during rope rescue operations involving steep terrain, confined spaces, and other challenging environments. Just as importantly, the new equipment is compatible with the systems used by many surrounding agencies, allowing for seamless mutual aid operations and improved interoperability during large-scale incidents.

By ensuring our equipment works alongside neighboring departments and rescue teams, we can better coordinate resources, train together more effectively, and provide the highest level of service to the citizens of Robertson County and our regional partners.

We remain committed to maintaining a highly trained and properly equipped team ready to respond whenever and wherever we are needed.

Public Information Statement

On June 9, Robertson County EMA was requested to respond to Valley View Camp off Swift Road following reports of a possible water rescue involving several children as information became available through dispatch.

Upon arrival and assessment by responding agencies, it was determined that all children were safe, accounted for, and not in immediate danger. The primary concern became identifying the safest method to evacuate the remainder of the camp due to changing conditions in the area.

Emergency responders quickly determined that roadway access to the camp remained available, allowing for a safe evacuation without the need for any water rescue operations. There were no injuries reported, and no children required rescue from floodwaters.

Robertson County EMA, along with our public safety partners, are working closely with camp staff to ensure all campers are safely transported and reunited with their families.

Responding agencies included:

• Robertson County EMA
• Robertson County Sheriff's Office
• Robertson County Emergency Medical Services
• White House Community Volunteer Fire Dept.
• Sumner County EMA

We appreciate the cooperation of camp staff, parents, and responding agencies during this incident. The safety of the children remains our highest priority.

All campers are safe and accounted for. Further updates will be provided if necessary.
