Swift Water Rescue

Hi,

My name is Inferno and I am the head Fire Buddy,

Today we are going to discuss the Swift Water Rescue due to the water main break in Bethesda, MD.

These guys did a great job and used all their training and experience to rescue the people that were trapped in the rushing water. They had on their wet suits, helmets and life jackets. They went out in their boats and you could see that they were tied to the bank and that the shore crew was working with them.

Even though it was a water main break, the flow was very large and moving very quickly and you could not walk in it. When in an incident like this you should check out your surroundings and see if it is safe to leave your car or not. Always remember to do what the responders request, they have been trained and the know the quickest way out of danger.
