It’s #MonsoonAwarenessWeek! 🌦️   Flash floods are no joke, and they can happen quickly when heavy rain falls, and the ground can’t absorb it fast enough. That water has to go somewhere, and it often rushes through usually dry washes, arroyos and creek beds.   lasvegasfd stays ready with swift water rescue training, preparing firefighters to respond when flooding hits the valley. 🚒   When they do swift water rescue training, they run the following simulations: 🧑‍🚒   -River strainer: How to rescue yourself if you end up in the water -Shore-based rescue with throw bags & ropes -Training for walking and moving as one unit in shallow water -Diving and drowning emergencies   Watch the video to see some portions of their training at cowabungavegas.   #MonsoonAwarenessWeek #MonsoonSeason #LVFR #firefighters
