Sea Bright, N.J. — November 6 — Three members of the Saddle River Fire Department traveled to Sea Bright to complete Swiftwater Rescue Technician training during the first week of November.
The training focused on developing specialized skills for water-related emergencies and expanding the department's special operations capabilities beyond traditional fire suppression.
Swiftwater rescue training prepares emergency responders to work in challenging water conditions and handle incidents involving people trapped or swept away by moving water. These operations require specialized knowledge, equipment and coordination to help protect both rescuers and victims.
The additional training strengthens the department's ability to respond to a wider range of emergencies and provide assistance when specialized water rescue resources are needed.
