Rainier pool training







Today, the Rainier crews trained in the water. The staff at the Briarcliff pool was gracious enough to allow CRFR personnel the tme to train under realistic conditions.




At any time, we may be called to battle a fire on or near the water. Wearing our turnout gear, along with SCBA and carrying equipment on narrow docks, could be a recipe for disaster. Instead, practice in self rescue, rope rescue and water survival, coupled with confidence in our equipment led us to successfully train for this nightmarish scenario.
