FD Dive Teams

[Saltygreyhound 2]

I was wondering what fire departments in the HV region have Dive Teams? Im looking into what kinds of SOG'S you have for the dive team? What annual training you conduct? How often do you train? What must your divers have in order to be on the team? Any thing from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Also pm me if you are able to share your SOGS and/or equipment you have for dive operations ex. bc setups/masks/suits etc.

Reach out to the Yorktown FD, Somers FD and/or Irvington FD here in Westchester. I have seen the Yorktown FD SOPs and they're quite impressive.

Piermont FD, Sloatsburg FD, Stony Point FD and Thiells FD in Rockland all have dive or swift water rescue teams

City of Hudson also has a Dive Team.

After January 1, you can ask for Car 3, Chief DeMarco.

Here's a thought for a good New Year's resolution... Don't post something unless you know it to be accurate and you have the authority to do so. Speculating on what department has or does not have a dive team is NOT what this thread is for. If you don't know for certain, don't post!

Carry on.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's in regard to posts that had to be deleted because they inaccurately reported agencies had dive teams or other resources but do not. The people that need to get the message, got the message (I hope).

When someone posts something inaccurate about an agency or their resources, we very quickly receive notification from personnel in authority reporting the problem and we remove the offending posts.

If is wasn't for rampant (and patently incorrect) speculation, we wouldn't have half the posts we have as it is! :-)
