river rescue

[fyrdawg]

Here are some pics of our last water rescue call.

The scenario:
A couple of drunks go over the falls in a canoe..... you can guess the rest.

*Note: No drunks were harmed beyond their own stupidity in the taking of these pictures.*





Here we see our two victims



Now here you can see myself and another FF working our way out to the victims.



More of our attempt to access the "victims"



Hurray, I made it out to the "victims"



Now we move the Para Tech AirTrak walkway into position, so we can get the "victims" back to shore. *NOTE: The Parattech AirTrak is a horrible choice for this job*



Well now we almost have the "victims" back on the shore.



Well, now that they're on the shore we have to get them up the river bank.



Phew.... Well it looks like they can ride out to the ambulance from here.



OMG... Cover your eyes, they're pulling me out of my wet suit!!!!!
