This water rescue section covers rescue techniques used when rescuing people from flood waters, rivers, fast flowing drains or aqueducts and surf beach operations. Sometimes rescue services used IRB's or FRB's while others may use ropes and other such techniques.
Water can be very powerful - be very careful when operating in bad conditions or fast flowing water.
