NFD participates and wins honors at the Swiftwater Rescue Conference in OKC |
This past week, several firefighters attended the Swiftwater Rescue Conference held at the Riversport in Oklahoma City. The Swiftwater Rescue Operations Course prepared the firefighters for basic swiftwater rescue activiites, by providing them with the skills required to safely operate in a swiftwater rescue environment. This conference invites departments from around the nation and even internationally. It creates a great opportunity for firefighters to learn and share information and rescue ideas with some of the brightest and best rescue techs from all around! At the end of the conference, firefighters had the opportunity to compete head to head against each other in both individual and team skill events. Several department members placed top 3 in each swim event. Hats off to Mr. Joe Rabuffo of the Norman Fire Department, who beat out 50+ other swimmers from across the nation and Australia to secure the First Place spot in Individual Competition! Way to go, NFD!
