Consider authorizing a training Agreement with the Tarrant Country College District Fire Service Training
Center for a Swift Water Rescue Refresher Course for the Fire Department Personnel .
This training is designed to prepare our firefighters for offensive rescue situations involving floods and
swift -moving water. The and hands-on experience will cover personal safety equipment, swift water
dynamics and hydrology, medical considerations in water rescues, self -rescue techniques, shore -based
rescues, and in -water contact rescues. Our firefighters and citizens will benefit from this training when
conducting offensive rescues during a swift water or flood incident.
Historically when the city has flood events there are multiple rescues going on simultaneously. This
creates the need for all firefighters to be training in rescue techniques.
This is a two year program. We will be training half the firefighter this year FY and the remainder next FY.
