Fire Brigade Swift Water Rescue

Saw this at the weekend.

Stark reminder for current flood conditions.

4x4 driver rescued from submerged vehicle - The Scotsman

Sorry if link don't work might need to copy and paste. Newbies eh! :crazy:

should have fitted a snorkel

Ooh, expensive! A D3 or 4 isn't it?

Looks like someone got confused between mm and cm for the wading height.

Think he needed a periscope more than a snorkel

150 yards further on and the Disco would have been totally submerged!

Our Team are all trained up for the Rapid Water Rescue Boat Handling, but fortunately, there is not a lot of call for it in this part of the world.

However, the one time we were needed in Morpeth we were standing down on that day due to having our boat named by the Mayor at a special event which had been planned weeks before!

Typical!!
