Swift Water Rescue Class
Swift-Water Rescue class was held at the Area 14 Training Center and the Green River Dam Spillway on January 24th and 25th 2009.   There were 23 students on Saturday and Sunday to brave the frigid weather and water.   Instructors Scott Shaw, Marc Myres, Pat Dalyrmple, and Randy Cox conducted very informative classroom sessions, and then directed their students though strategically planned scenarios in the skills portion, which gave the students the necessary knowledge and skills to handle most swift-water incidents.   Special thanks go out to the Army Corps of Engineers for providing the water for our class. Without them we would not be able to conduct this program
