4 adults, a 7 year old, and a dog were rescued by volunteers from the Shickshinny Volunteer Fire Company during flooding in Shickshinny, PA on 9/9/2011
It’s good to see a professional water rescue team in action. The boat operator made the correct upstream approach; all rescues were properly equipped in their PPE (dry suits, helmets, type Vs); and PFDs were placed on all the victims when in the boat. Great job! Just be careful as the capacity on the Rescue One boat is 1300 lbs, you were very close to max people. Keep up the great work!
