Swiftwater Rescue Technicians on April 18 after they successfully
completed a two-day intensive training program conducted at the

Harrisville, New Hampshire.  Fire, Rescue, EMS, and Law Enforcement
personnel from New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania participated in this course, along with Instructors from
New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

The new Technicians spent 5 hours in classroom on Saturday (April 17), and 4-hours in the water,
during which time it rained, snowed, and sleeted, and even had a spot of
sunshine.  On Sunday, the Technicians spent 8-hours practicing skills
in a moving-water environment during which time they practiced rescuing
one another from hydraulics, moving water, strainers, etc.
