Water Rescue in Bowie |
|||
Monday 26 June - At1643 the Laurel Volunteer Rescue Squad Water Rescue Team was alerted for a "Male Stuck in the Tree due to the High Water" in the 17000-blk of Governor Bridge Road. Chief 43A arrived on scene to discover a citizen who had ventured out into the swift moving water. After quickly being overcome by the swift current, the citizen was able to cling to a tree approximately 100 yards from shore. Upon arrival the crew from Water Rescue 49 deployed with members from Technical Rescue 22 serving as the back up team. Upon reaching the citizen, who was very tired and cold, the crew pulled him from the water and quickly brought him ashore. Part of the rescue was captured by WJZ TV from Baltimore (http://wjz.com/video/?id=19056@wjz.dayport.com). Units from 49, including C49 & C49A, operated on the scene until approximately 1830. This brought to over 90 the total number of citizens that LVRS brought to safety as a result of the rain and high waters in the 72 hours. photos courtesy of Dale Klonin - Station 49 |

Special Thanks to Station 14 |
| Laurel Volunteer Rescue Squad would like to thank Chief Fusco and the members of Berwyn Heights for loaning us their Zodiac boat after Boat 49-1 was damaged during one of Sunday's Water Rescues in Montgomery County. It really made a difference having it. |
