Penn Hills VFD Water Rescue Response Team

On Saturday ten (10) members of the PHWRT and surrounding local VFD’s continued their training by participating in the PA Fish & Boat Commissions “Advanced Line Rescue Systems”. Team members completed a 400 meter unaided swim, learned various in-water victim rescue techniques, and additional self rescue techniques, along with setting up complex rope rescue devices. Unfortunately due to low water levels at the testing site, the practical portion of this class was unable to be completed. A new practical day has already been scheduled. Special thank you to the Penn Hills School District for the use of the pool. This training is invaluable and access to this asset right in our back yard is great!!!
