Any department can be called to a water rescue, regardless of the size of the bodies of water in their response area, whether there are small ponds and reservoirs or large rivers and open ocean. Firefighters should be prepared for water rescues because every second counts when a victim is drowning. Familiarizing yourself with water rescue tactics, as well as water rescue tools like throw bags, watercraft, and AI-powered sonar such as the AquaEye Pro, can be the difference between a rescue and a recovery. This course, developed in partnership with AquaEye, will help prepare you for these difficult calls.
