This week West Mead 1 sent members with the Crawford County Scuba Team to train with Saegertown and Hayfield. The team reviewed firefighter safety on water rescue calls and conducted hands-on throw bag training. West Mead 1 / Scuba Team members Steve Harvey, Mike Prystaloski, and Bryan Little spent time in the water allowing Saegertown and Hayfield firefighters to deploy throw bags at actual victims in moving water.
