A Look At How The Tulsa Fire Department Trains For Water Rescues
Tulsa firefighters swapped their fire trucks for boats Wednesday as they trained to perform water rescues.
Some Tulsa Firefighters are getting specialized water rescue training this week at Skiatook Lake.
Crews loaded up Wednesday morning on boats and rafts on Skiatook Lake to do mock searches, and practice rescues and boat maneuvers.
Captain Matt Bell said the training is put to the test each spring when people drive on flooded roads. We have a lot of people that drive in the floodwater, Bell said. So, it s very common during the springtime, we get heavy rains, flood, people will try to drive through it, they ll get stranded on their vehicle and then they ll call.
