This week's Monday drill was "Ice Water Rescue" for our members.
The "Ice Water Rescue" drill had our members reviewing how to properly put on the water rescue suits, how to properly rig a patient with their rescue equipment, how to throw the rescue rope bag and then they practiced how to rescue a patient on the Vista Firehouse pond. This type of training has prepared our members on how to properly respond and perform during an ice water rescue incident.
If you are interested in being part of our team at the Vista FD, visit us any Monday night from 6:30pm - 9:30pm for more details or click the "Become a Member" tab at VistaFD.org!
