7/23/2017 - SFD and Southampton Village Ambulance Complete Water Rescue Technician Course
|
The Southampton Fire Department recently hosted a Water Rescue Technician course. The Water Rescue Technician (WRT) Course is a fast-paced, comprehensive 13-hour training and educational program specifically designed for Public Safety and Rescue Professionals, including Law Enforcement, Fire, Rescue, EMS and Lifeguard Personnel. This intense classroom and hands on based course is based off of a training curriculum by Lifesaving Resources out of Kennebunkport Maine. The department sent 3 members to Maine last Spring for a course to become water rescue and swift water rescue instructors. The course, led by Southampton Fire Department 2nd Assistant Chief Alfred Callahan and Firefighter Travis Corwin, marks the first time this level of training has been brought back to the department as a whole.
15 Members from the Southampton Fire Department and the Southampton Village Ambulance completed the course with 10 becoming water rescue technicians, 1 becoming an Operational Safety Officer, and 4 training to the awareness level. The training included a 5 hour classroom course followed by an intense full day of hands on training in both the pool and local ocean. Members learned the proper techniques for shore based rescue with floatation aids as well as how to perform “live bait” rescues as a rescue swimmer making direct contact with a distressed or drowning victim. |
