Water Rescue Training

Hello Brian,

Thanks for the feed back on the Water Rescue Training we had on July 15 TH. Just a little history, this is the program that was initially put together by Tom Emerick, Mike Reel, (Fort Fire), Mike Zenoni, (Jefferson Co Sheriff's Dept), Dave Sheen, (Janesville Fire), and myself, when I was with Rock County Sheriff's Dept.

As a result of the many drownings on our water ways we envisioned and created this Water Rescue Program. This was over 13 years ago and many of the same people and Departments are still involved. Fort, Lake Mills, Edgerton and Milton Fire Departments as well as Jefferson and Rock County Sheriff's Departments have been a part of and have made major contributions to this program since it's inception.

The RRSP is still involved with this program. Tom Kunkel and myself volunteer our time to help keep this program going and to contribute our many years of water rescue experience. The focus of this program is to provide rescue services to Lake Koshkonong and the Rock River.

The Water Rescue Program is a program that the Lake District should take note of. The members of the Lake District are the recipients of the benefits from this Programs efforts.

Thanks

Henry
