Water Rescue Training Drill with Croton Falls FD, Yorktown Heights FD and Lewisboro VAC
By Captain of Rescue Raymond Baker Jr.
July 16, 2019
On Tuesday, July 16th, the Golden's Bridge FD was joined by Croton Falls Fire, Yorktown Heights Fire and Lewisboro VAC at the Golden's Bridge Firehouse for some joint training. A brief discussion and safety meeting were held before personnel conducted the drill. Firefighters and officers from GBFD worked with firefighters and officers of the Croton Falls and Yorktown Heights Fire Departments, as well as members of Lewisboro VAC. Members worked in teams, practicing many different skills including boat operations, search and rescue operations , water rescue scenarios, and communications. The four agencies spent about an hour and an half training together. We thank the CFFD, YHFD and LVAC for their continued support, and taking time out of their schedule to train with us! We hope to train with them again in the near future!
