Tonights Drill consisted of our Water Rescue Team going to the Flat Rock Dam to practice water rescue evolutions at the base of the Dam. Crews practiced using our Rapid Deployment Craft (RDC) which is used to access the base of the Dam. Crews also worked in teams walking up to the base of the Dam with walking sticks. The training proved to be challenging and as always great practice preparing for real water rescue emergencies.
