We are receiving several inquiries about our
upcoming Swiftwater & Rope Rescue courses for 2012. We have
just learned the North Carolina Office of the State Fire
Marshall's Office will be offering six Bridge courses
throughout the state over the next few months that will
enable currently certified Rescue 3 students who have
completed the SRT I and SRT Advanced to receive reciprocity
for the new TR Water Rescue course by attending the bridge
program. More details coming soon. We are adjusting our
training schedule to offer both courses in the Spring for
Western and Eastern, North Carolina. Our schedule should be
out next week!
Elizabeth City, NC: On June 29, instructional
staff from Rescue North Carolina traveled to Elizabeth City, NC for a day of USCG Rescue Swimmer Training by the staff of the Air Station. Rescue
NC staff received training in helo ops., winch operations, victim packaging,
and rescue swimming techniques. This training was intended to learn various
techniques that can be utilized in our swiftwater rescue courses.
Just one-week following
his Rescue 3 International SRT
Unit I course, USMC Rescue Swimmer Brandon King of Air Station Cherry
Point conducted a successful helicopter -based rescue of a stranded
boater of a capsized vessel. Brandon participated in his SRT-I course
along the Nantahala River , along with other Aviation Survival
Technicians from Cherry Point and US Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth
City. This SRT I course was the first time Helo-based Rescue Swimmers
from both the USCG and USMC trained side-by side. Congrats Brandon on a
great rescue.
