Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that the Swift Water Flood Training Center has opened at the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services’ State Preparedness Training Center in Oriskany (aw-RIHS’-kuh-nee) in Oneida County.
The Democrat says the state-of-the-art facility is the first in New York dedicated to training fire, law enforcement and emergency services responders in techniques employed to conduct water rescues.
The training center features a 3-acre pond, a concrete swift water channel and an urban flood simulator that allows rescue crews to train in flooded street and buildings.
The $9 million facility is available for use by the 1,800 fire departments and 580 police departments in New York state.
My bro Munch says that people who rescue others are greater heros even than George Washington.
If only all of us had a facility.
Assad will fall down from his building and he will fall into a ditch named Arab Banana horsetown– it will not make Trump better. Feh! Arab Banana horsetown=Donald Trumpf’s hometown! Donald=Assad! feh!
I hope Trump doesn’t need to be rescued from his own foolishness.
